Create a view

As an administrator, we can create a view of tasks that IBM Security Identity Manager provides. For example, we might restrict the set of tasks that group members have.

Determine the subset of tasks that group members might see. Determine whether an access control item might control the tasks that the view makes visible.

• View All Requests is only intended for users that have full, unrestricted access to the audit trail. There is no ACI checking in this view. Use caution when exposing this task in a user's view.
• View All Requests by Service is intended for service and application owners that need in order to view the audit trail related to services they administer. ACIs are applied only when initially searching for a service. ACIs are not applied to any of the request data shown as a result of selecting a service.
• View All Requests by User is intended for the help desk administrators and managers that need in order to view the audit trail related to specific users. ACIs are applied only when initially searching for a user. ACIs are not applied to any of the request data shown as a result of selecting a user.

We can use the Define Views page to create additional views.
