Provisioning Role Custom Fields Missing in Identity Manager Web UI

Products

• CA Identity Manager
• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

After defining custom fields in the Identity Manager Provisioning Manager, these fields may not appear in the Identity Manager Web User Interface (UI).

This occurs because the custom fields must be manually enabled within the profile tabs of the specific administrative tasks responsible for managing provisioning roles.

Environment

Identity Manager 14.x & v15

Cause

Custom attributes created in the Provisioning Manager are added to the directory schema but are not automatically projected onto the Web UI.

Administrative tasks use specific screen definitions that must be updated to include any new or custom attributes intended for user or administrator interaction.

Resolution

To make custom fields visible in the Web UI, you must update the screen definitions for the "Create" and "Modify" Provisioning Role tasks.

1. From the Identity Manager console, select "Roles and Tasks" > "Admin Tasks" > "Modify Admin Task"
2. Search for "Modify Provisioning Role"
3. Click on Tabs
4. Edit the Profile tab
5. Click on each custom field checkbox you want visible in the Identity Manager Web UI.
   
   
   
6. Repeat the above actions for the Admin Task "Create Provisioning Role".
