14.1 Listing Roles

Roles page displays all the roles within your organization. You can search roles using role name or description. You can also filter roles based on role level and categories. If you wish to see the columns other than default columns, you can customize the columns.

The search functionality has been enhanced in Identity Manager 4.8.5. You can now broaden the search results by adding an asterisk character (*) right after the keyword. Using an asterisk with the keyword allows you to locate every name that begins with the keyword you type. This is especially useful when your keyword consists of more than one word (with space). For example, a search for Provisioning ad* returns results such as Provisioning - Administrator, Provisioning Manager, Security Administrator, and RBPM Application -Administrator. You can also filter roles based on role level and categories.

IMPORTANT:

  • If you are using Identity Manager 4.8 or 4.8.1, do not use the following special characters in the search bar to find a role: < > , ; \ " + # = / | & *

  • If you are using Identity Manager 4.8.2 or 4.8.2.1, do not use the following special characters in the search bar to find a role: < ; \ " + # = / | *

  • If you are using Identity Manager 4.8.3 or later, do not use the following special characters in the search bar to find a role: < ; \ " + # = / | * ~

  • When searching a role using description, do not use the stop words such as a, an, and in the search bar. For a list of common stop words not included in the role search query, see List of Stop Words Ignored In Search Query.
