Configure access catalog information for a role

Configure the access catalog information for a role in the Administrator Console so you can use it in the Identity Service Center Request Access.

We can also configure the access catalog information for a new role or for an existing role.

Configure the access information for a role by defining certain accesses with the use of a badge. We can highlight certain accesses with badges by attaching text that contains some formatting such as color and font type.

To configure the role access information...

1. From the navigation tree, select Manage Roles.

2. On the Manage Roles page, in the Roles table, click Create to display the Create Role wizard. Alternatively, select an existing role and click Change to configure its access catalog information.
3. Specify the appropriate values on the Role Type page. The pages vary, depending on whether you specified a static or a dynamic role.
4. Specify the appropriate values on the General Information page.

5. On the Access Information page...to configure the access information:
   1. Expand the Owners section to specify the roles or users that are the owners of the role.

   2. Select the Enable access for this role check box.
   3. Expand the Select access type or the Change access type tree to select an access type. The tree label depends on whether to create or modify a service.
   4. Provide a uniform resource identifier (URI) string in the Icon URL field for the access icon.
   5. Specify search strings in the Search terms field to return specific search terms. Add or delete the search terms to suit requirements.

   6. Specify any free form information about the access item in the Additional information field.
   7. Expand the Badges section to specify the badges that are associated with the role.
      • Specify a badge text in the Badge text field.
      • Assign a class from the Badge class list for the badge text.
      We can see the preview of your badge specifications in the Preview area.
6. Depending on whether we created or modified the role access information, click OK or Finish when we are done.
