Create an access type based on a role

We can create role-based access to resources.

We can use the Manage Access Types page to create an access type.

To create an access type that is based on a role...

1. From the navigation tree, select Configure System > Manage Access Types. The Manage Access Types page is displayed.

2. On the Manage Access Types page:

   1. In the Access Types tree, click the icon next to Role, and then click Create Type. The Create Access Type page is displayed.

   2. On the Create Access Type page, in the Access type key field, type a unique name for the access type key that to create.

   3. Optional: In the Description field, type a description for the access type key that to create.

   4. Click OK.

Results

The Manage Access Types page is displayed, and the new access type is listed in the Access Types tree.

We might need to update the CustomLabels.properties resource bundle to provide the display label for this new access type.

We might make the new access available to users in the Self Service or the Identity Service Center user interface. To do so, associate the role with the newly created access type.
