To create a custom power, you create a new power or clone an existing power. You can use an existing power as a template for new power delegations. A power defines the properties of an object an assistant administrator can view, modify, or create in your managed domain or subtree. Custom powers can include access to multiple properties, such as the View All User Properties power.
NOTE:It is not possible to clone all of the built-in powers.
You implement custom powers from the Delegation Management > Powers node in the Delegation and Configuration Console. In this node, you can do the following:
View all power properties
Create new powers
Clone existing powers
Modify custom powers
Generate power change reports
To do these actions, you must have the appropriate powers, such as those included in the Manage Security Model role.
Consider the following process before attempting to create a new power.
Review the powers supplied with DRA.
Decide whether you need a custom power. If applicable, you can clone an existing custom power.
Complete the appropriate wizard-driven procedures. For example, complete the New Power wizard.
View your new power.
Modify you new power, if necessary.
The general workflow to execute any of the actions identified in this section is to select the Powers node, and do one of the following:
Use the Tasks or right-click menu to open the applicable wizard or dialog box to follow through with the necessary action.
Find the power object in the List items that match my criteria pane, and use the Tasks or right-click menu to select and open the applicable wizard or dialog box to follow through with the necessary action.
