Customizing Available Buttons

The iManager Views task allows an administrator to hide the different buttons that are in the top frame of iManager from the users that access iManager. By default all of the buttons are available to everyone, but some let you perform configuration operations that you might not want all users to be able to access or even see. This task allows you to hide these buttons from users. The settings can be applied to Containers (applies to all users in the container), Users, Persons, or Organizational Persons.

To limit the buttons available to users:

  1. In iManager, click the Configure button Developer button.

  2. In the Contents panel, click View Configuration > iManager Views Access.

  3. In the right pane, enter the distinguished name of the object to restrict, then click OK.

    If you do not know the name, click the Object Selector button that allows you to browse the tree for objects. In the left pane, enter the container in which to begin browsing, select the other criteria for the object, then click Apply. In the right pane, select the object. When the object appears in the Object Name box, click OK.

  4. Change the flag to limit which buttons are available to users at the selected object in the directory:

    • The Do Not Set flag either allows the button to show (the default) or takes the setting applied to a container above the object if one has been set.
    • The Show flag shows the button, even if the button was hidden at container above the object.
    • The Hide flag hides the button regardless of any other settings in a container above the object.
    • The Read Parent Containers Above This Object setting applies the button settings that have been configured for container above the object to take effect on that object.

NOTE:  Portal administrators and rbsCollection owners cannot be restricted from seeing the Configure button. Even if you use iManager to hide the button, these users can see and use the Configure button.
