4.1 Configuring Identity Manager Home Items

As an administrator, you can customize the default Identity Manager Home items your users can access. You can add or remove Home items as needed or add your own new custom items.

NOTE:

  • If you want to add the available iManager item to Identity Manager Home, you must configure the link to point to your iManager installation. If you add the item to Identity Manager Home without configuring the link, the link returns an error.

  • Users can only see the items to which they have access. If you want to restrict users’ access to specific Home items, use the User Application Administration module.

To customize the default Identity Manager Home items displayed:

  1. Log in to Identity Manager Home using a Role, Resource, Provisioning, and Security domain administrator account.

  2. On Identity Manager Home, select Edit, located in the top right-hand corner of the page.

  3. (Optional) If you want to add the provided iManager item to Identity Manager Home, complete the following steps:

    1. In the New and available items column, mouse over iManager and select the Edit icon.

    2. In the Link field, specify the URL for your iManager installation.

    3. Select Save.

    4. Select and drag iManager from the New and available items list to one of the categories displayed on the right side of the page.

  4. (Optional) If you want to add a new category to Identity Manager Home, complete the following steps:

    1. Select New Category. The user interface adds a new untitled category at the bottom of your current set of categories.

    2. Select the title Untitled Category and specify the name you want to use for the category.

    3. Select on the page outside of the category title to save the new name.

  5. (Optional) If you want to delete a category, select the Delete this category icon Delete this category icon under Categories.

    NOTE:If you delete a category, Identity Manager Home automatically moves any items in that category back to the New and available items list.

  6. (Optional) If you want to add or remove an Identity Manager Home item, select and drag the item to and from the New and available items list and one of the categories displayed on the right side of the page. You can also drag and drop items from one category to another category.

  7. (Optional) If you want to add a new Identity Manager Home item to the New and available items list, complete the following steps:

    1. Select New item.

    2. Specify a name and description for the new item.

    3. To specify an image to use for the item, select Browse, navigate to the image, and select Open.

    4. (Optional) If you want the new item to link to a specific URL, either within the User Application or outside of Identity Manager, specify the URL in the Link field.

    5. (Optional) If you want to add additional functionality to the Identity Manager Home item, like a badge that displays the number of pending tasks, you can specify a REST endpoint with JSON data in the API URL field. For more information about REST endpoints, see REST Services, in the User Application: Administration Guide.

      NOTE:

      • When you specify a REST endpoint for an Identity Manager Home item, you must configure the endpoint itself on your Identity Manager Home server.

      • If you specify a REST endpoint, you can include REST parameters in the item Description field. For example, the description for the default Tasks item includes the following text:

        View my {0} Identity Manager approval tasks

    6. Select Save.

  8. When finished configuring Identity Manager Home items, select I’m done.
