16.1 About the Create portlet
The Create portlet provides an easy-to-use wizard that allows users to create identity vault objects of different types. Portlet preferences control:
-
The types of objects that the user can create.
-
The attributes that the user can supply.
For more information, see Section 16.3, Setting Create Preferences.
The default configuration of the Create portlet (which is accessed via the Create User or Group action of the Identity Manager user application) allows users to create a User, a Group, or a Task Group. This portlet is restricted, by default, to the User Application Administrator. The following example shows how the default Create portlet wizard prompts the user to:
-
Select the type of object to create:
-
Populate the object’s attributes:
-
Prompt for a password, when required by the object type:
If a password policy is assigned, then any custom policy messages are displayed by this portlet.
-
Provide an informational message when the object is successfully created, that links to the Detail portlet for that object (assuming the Detail portlet is likewise configured) for further editing.
