10.1 About the Create portlet

The Create portlet provides an easy-to-use wizard that allows users to create Identity Vault objects of different types. Portlet preferences control the following:

  • The types of objects that the user can create.

  • The attributes that the user can supply.

You can also configure the portlet to allow guest users to self-register.

The default configuration of the Create portlet (accessed via the Create User or Group action of the Identity Manager User Application) allows users to create a User or a Group. This portlet is restricted, by default, to the User Application Administrator. The following example shows how the default Create portlet wizard prompts the user to:

  • Select the type of object to create:

  • Populate the object’s attributes:

  • Prompt for a password, when required by the object type:

    If a password policy is assigned, the portlet displays any custom policy messages.

  • Provide an informational message when the object is successfully created. The message contains a link to the Detail portlet for that object for further editing (assuming the Detail portlet is likewise configured).
