Create an object with Web Portal Manager, from parent object

We can create an object that uses the parent object as the base path with Web Portal Manager.

Steps

1. Use Web Portal Manager to log on to the domain as a domain administrator.

2. Click Object Space → Browse Object Space to display the Browse Object Space page.

3. Navigate the object hierarchy and select the link of the parent object to display the Protect Object Properties page. For example, select the link associated with the /Management/Groups object.

4. Click the Create Child Object link to display the Create Protected Object page where the Object Name and Description fields contain the values of the parent object.

5. In the Object Name field, append a slash and the name of the new object. For example, append /test-object to the provided parent path of /Management/Groups.

6. Optional: In the Description field, modify the description for the object. For example, type Test Object.

7. Click Create.

What to do next

After the object is created, a dialog is displayed with the link to this object. To attach a policy to this protected object, click this link to display its Protected Object Properties page. From this page, select the Can Policy be attached to this object check box and click Apply.
