Add Custom Attributes to Search Screen Definitions

When you want to filter roles in Identity Manager, you can only use the attributes that are available in the search screen. To filter the roles based on the custom attributes that you have defined, you must add the custom attributes to the search screen of the roles.

To add Custom Attributes to the Search Screens of roles

1. Click Roles and Tasks, Admin Tasks, Modify Admin Tasks.

   The Select Admin Task page appears.

2. Search for and select that admin task that you want to modify.

   To add custom attributes to search screens, select the Modify or View task for the type of role (admin, provisioning, or access) that includes custom attributes.

   Identity Manager displays the task details for the selected admin task.

3. Click the Search tab in the Modify Admin Role screen.

   The search screen details appear.

4. Click ellipsis button to display a list of search screen definitions that are available for the task.

   The Select Screen Definition page appears.

5. Select a search screen definition to edit, or create a copy of an existing search screen definition.

   The Configure Standard Search Screen appears.

6. Add the custom attributes to the following tables:
   • Select the fields that a user can search on
   • Select the fields that appear in the search results
7. Change the name of the custom attribute to match the name you specified when you configured the Profile tab.
8. Click OK to save the changes to the search screen definition.

   The Select Screen Definition page displays again.

9. Select the screen that you created or edited, then click Select.
10. Select All Admin Roles from the Search Options list.
11. Click Submit.

    The search screen will now include the custom attributes in the search options and display the attributes in the search results.
