11.1 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 following:
-
The types of objects that the user can create.
-
The attributes that the user can supply.
You can also configure the portlet to allow guest users to self-register.
The default configuration of the Create portlet (accessed via the action of the Identity Manager User Application) allows users to create a User or a 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, the portlet displays any custom policy messages.
-
Provide an informational message when the object is successfully created. The message contains a link to the Detail portlet for that object for further editing (assuming the Detail portlet is likewise configured).
