Customizing an account attribute in the View Access wizard

You can customize an account attribute to display or sort on the access cards.

Before you begin

• You must have read or write access to the customizable files and the directories where they are maintained. See Location of Identity Service Center customizable files and Customization of Identity Service Center files for specific details about where these files are located. Contact your system administrator if you do not have the necessary permissions.
• By default, the user ID is displayed on the access cards and sorting is enabled for the user ID.

About this task

Use the following sections to work with the configuration files or the configuration properties from the IBM Security Identity Manager virtual appliance console:

• To go to a custom file and edit, download, upload, or search it, see Managing custom files.
• To go to a property file and edit, upload, or search it see Managing the server properties.

The file Access.json contains the access attributes that are customizable. The access attributes can be in the following categories:

• Standard attributes that are in the primary, secondary, or tertiary areas of the access cards. See Customizing an access card in the Request Access wizard.
• Account attributes that are customized for user-specific views. For example, account.eruid.

Procedure

1. Optional: Customize an account attribute that is displayed on the access cards.
   1. Download a copy of the Access.json file. See Managing the server properties.
   2. Edit the file. The contents of this file are maintained in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format, which is way of representing structured data.The userAccessView section contains the userId subsection. For example:

      "userAccessView": {
      			"userId": {
      			"attribute": "account.eruid"
      	"display": true,
      				.....
      				}			}			

   3. If you do not want to display an account attribute on the access cards, set "display": false.
2. Optional: Customize an account attribute for the sort functionality.
   1. Download a copy of the Access.json file. See Managing the server properties.
   2. Edit the file. The contents of this file are maintained in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format, which is way of representing structured data.The uerId section contains the sort subsection. For example:

      "userAccessView": {
      			"userId": {
      			"attribute": "account.eruid"
      	"display": true,
      				"sort": {
      					"enabled": true,
      					"labelKey": "userId"
      				}			}.....
      }			

   3. To disable the sort on an account attribute, set "enabled": false. If you enable the sort functionality, an account attribute is the third sort attribute in the grid sortable attributes.

Results

An account attribute that is displayed on access cards reflects the customization that you made in the Access.json file.
