An admin task is an administrative function that a user can perform in Identity Manager. Examples of admin tasks include Create User, Modify Group, and View Role Membership.

When you create an admin task, you complete the following steps:

Note: The section Active Directory Prerequisites includes additional considerations if Identity Manager is managing an Active Directory user store.

1. In the Identity Manager User Console, select Roles and Tasks, Admin Tasks, Create Admin Task.

   Identity Manager asks if you want to create a new task or create a task based on an existing task.

   For example, select the Modify User task as the basis of the new task.

2. Select a creation option, and click OK.
3. Once you select Ok, you see a screen with the following five tabs:

   Tab	Purpose	See this Topic

   Tabs	Choose and design the tabs for the task	Choose Tabs for the Task
   Fields	Show the fields used on all tabs	View Fields in the Task
   Events	Select a workflow process for each event if the Identity Manager environment and the task uses workflow	Assign Workflow Processes for Events
