4.0 Resource Administration

A resource is any digital entity such as a user account, computer, or database that a business user needs to be able to access. Each resource is mapped to an entitlement. For more information, see Section 1.2, Understanding Resources.

Catalog Administrator allows you to create entitlement-based dynamic resources and non-valued resources (without entitlements). It also allows you to create static resources. You can modify Categories, Owners, and Approval Process for a resource. With Catalog Administrator, you can select multiple resources for modify and delete operations.

You can access the Resource Administrator page from the Identity Manager Home and Provisioning Dashboard page. The Resource Administrator page displays a list of currently defined resources in your organization.

To change information associated with a resource, you can either select it from the list of resources or search for it using Filter. The Resources page displays information about that resource.

The following sections contain information about operations that you can perform in the Resource Administration page.
