Define assignment attributes for an existing role

When modifying an existing role, we can optionally define assignment attributes to be associated with the role.

We can associate a custom label with an assignment attribute by adding an attribute name prefixed with roleAssignmentAttribute in the customLabels.properties resource bundle. This operation provides the display label for the assignment attribute. For example, roleAssignmentAttribute.creditLimit="Credit Limit Value". The key for the assignment attribute of the same role must be unique.

To define assignment attributes to be associated with a role...

1. From the navigation tree, click Manage Roles.

2. On the Manage Roles page:

   1. Enter information about the role in the Search information field.

   2. In the Search by field, specify whether to search against role names or descriptions, or against business units, and then click Search. A list of roles that match the search criteria is displayed.

   3. In the Roles table, click the icon () next to the role, and then click Change. The Role Type page is displayed.

3. Click Assignment Attributes. The Assignment Attributes page is displayed. If we selected a role type of Dynamic, the Assignment Attributes page is not displayed.

4. To add an attribute to an existing role, enter a name in the Attribute Name field for the assignment attribute to add. We must not enter a space, semi-colon, or both when specifying an assignment attribute name.

5. Click Add.

   The new attribute is displayed in the assignment attributes table. If the attribute has a display label defined in the customLabels.properties resource bundle, then the assignment attribute table displays the same label.

6. Optionally, we can remove existing assignment attributes if no values are set with any user member of the role.

A Success page is displayed, indicating that you successfully updated the role.
