6.7 iManager Views

iManager Views are management pages accessed from the top frame of iManager. You might not want users to see certain views, such as Object or Configure.

By default, all views inherit the settings of the parent set.

You can show or hide the views that are available to users of iManager.

  1. Change the flag for a specific icon from Do Not Set to Hide.

  2. Select the Read Parent Containers of this Object check box to impose the settings of the object's parent container on this object.

    When an object's parent container is selected, this will take precedence.

    Do not select the Read Parent Containers of this Object check box if you are selecting settings exclusively for this particular object.

6.7.1 Read-only Views

Read-only views are not created by iManager, but are a result of a user's eDirectory rights to the iManager attributes being viewed. If the user only has read rights to the attribute, then iManager only allows the user to see the fields, but not edit them.

NOTE:By default, iManager automatically grants edit rights to attributes related to a user's assigned roles.

For example, iManager does not provide a mechanism to create a read-only view of password restrictions. Members of the 'Held Desk' role receive write rights to the password restrictions attributes by default, so the password restriction attributes are editable to members of the 'Help Desk' role.

To avoid this, disable the automatic granting of rights in support of an assigned iManager role and grant user rights manually. To do this, complete the following steps:

  1. Go to Configure > Role Based Services > RBS Configuration, and select the collection to modify.

  2. Open the Role tab

  3. Select the box next to the role to which the users are assigned, and select Actions > Member Associations.

  4. In the list of members for the role, uncheck Assign Rights. This removes the rights assigned to the users automatically by the role. You must now assign rights manually to the attributes that users should be permitted to edit.
