Creating Delegated Lists

Delegated lists identify the users and groups that a Delegated Administrator can manage. Each list is assigned to one or more Delegated Administrators, who can perform the following tasks:

Note:

Shared Services displays the Delegated List node only if the current user is assigned to manage delegated lists.

The users and groups that a Delegated Administrator creates are not automatically assigned to the administrator who created them. A Shared Services Administrator must add these users and groups to delegated lists before Delegated Administrators can access them. Delegated Administrators, however, can assign these users and groups to the delegated lists that they create.

  To create delegated lists:

  1. Launch Shared Services Console. See Launching Shared Services Console.

  2. Under Native Directory in View pane, right-click Delegated List, and then select New.

  3. In Name, enter a unique name for the delegated list.

  4. Optional: In Description, enter a list description.

  5. Optional: To add groups to the list, click Next. These are the groups that the Delegated Administrator assigned to this list can administer.

    1. In Search for Groups, enter the name of the group to assign to the list. Leave this field empty to retrieve all groups. Use * as the wildcard for pattern searches. If you are a Delegated Administrator, only groups assigned to you are displayed.

    2. In Directory, select the user directory from which groups are to be displayed.

    3. Click Go.

    4. From Available Groups, select groups.

    5. Click Add.

      Note:

      Shared Services considers Oracle and SQL Server database roles the equivalents of groups in user directories.

      Oracle database roles can be hierarchical.

      SQL Server database roles cannot be nested.

    6. Optional: From Assigned Groups, select a group and click Remove to unassign a group. Click Reset to unassign all groups that you assigned in the current session.

  6. Optional: Click Next to add users that the Delegated Administrator assigned to this list can administer.

    1. In Search for Users, enter the name of the user to assign to the list. Leave this field blank to retrieve all users. Use * as the wildcard for pattern searches. If you are a Delegated Administrator, only users assigned to you are displayed.

    2. In Directory, select the user directory from which users are to be displayed.

    3. Click Go.

    4. From Available Users, select users.

    5. Click Add.

      The selected users are listed in Assigned Users.

    6. Optional: From Assigned Users, select a user and click Remove to unassign a user. Click Reset to unassign all users that you assigned in the current session.

    Note:

    The Delegated Administrator of the list is automatically added as a user.

  7. Optional: Click Next to assign Delegated Administrators for this list.

    1. In Search for Users, enter the user to assign as the Delegated Administrator of the list. Leave this field blank to retrieve all users. Use * as the wildcard for pattern searches. If you are a Delegated Administrator, only users assigned to you are displayed.

    2. In Directory, select the user directory from which users are to be displayed.

    3. Click Go.

    4. From Available Users, select users.

    5. Click Add.

      The selected users are listed in Assigned Users.

    6. Optional: From Assigned Users list, select the user and click Remove to unassign a user. Click Reset to unassign all users that you assigned in the current session.

    Note:

    The user who creates the list is automatically added as a Delegated Administrator of the list.
