Set up identity template in Identity Manager

This article describes how to create or edit an identity template in Identity Manager Admin

Several identity templates can be based on the same data pool and present different subsets (subcategories or data types) of it and/or data in a different way. Access to user data from the application core and from BPMN processes is always gained through identity templates.

Prerequisites

  4. To add permissions for a role, click Add role and select the role in the drop-down list.
For each state: set form and processes

For each state of the object, select a form for how to display the object in this state. Also select processes to be started for commands like Save and Delete:

  1. Go to the tab for the specific state, for example active.

    For example, for the Employee object in state active, Create Employee Card can be an additional command. By using a mapping between Employee and Employee Card, personal data such as first name and last name can be copied from the Employee object to the starting form of Create Employee Card.

    In Identity Manager Operator, the added commands will be shown in the What do you want to do? panel on the right.

  5. Click Save.
