User Guide

Note:
Shared Services displays the Delegated List node only if the current user is assigned to manage
delegated lists.
The users and groups that a Delegated Administrator creates are not automatically assigned to
the administrator who created them. A Shared Services Administrator must add these users and
groups to delegated lists before Delegated Administrators can access them. Delegated
Administrators, however, can assign these users and groups to the delegated lists that they create.
➤ To create delegated lists:
1 Launch User Management Console, as explained in “Launching User Management Console” on page 33.
2 In Native Directory in Object Palette, right-click Delegated List, and select New.
The Create Delegated List screen opens.
3 In Name, enter a unique name for the delegated list.
4 Optional: In Description, type a description of the list.
5 Optional: To add groups to the list, click Next.
a. In Search for Groups, enter the name of the group to assign to the list. Leave this field
empty to retrieve all groups. Use * as the wildcard for pattern searches. If you are a
Delegated Administrator, only groups assigned to you are displayed.
b. In Directory, select the user directory from which groups are to be displayed.
c. Click Go.
d. From Available Groups, select one or more groups.
e. Click Add.
The selected groups are listed in Assigned Groups.
Note:
Shared Services considers Oracle and SQL Server database roles as the equivalents of groups
in user directories. Oracle database roles can be hierarchical. SQL Server database roles
cannot be nested. Because DB2 does not support roles, Shared Services does not display
groups if you select a DB2 database provider.
f. Optional: To unassign a group, from Assigned Groups, select a group and click Remove.
To unassign all groups, click Reset.
6 Optional: To add users to the list, click Next.
a. In Search for Users, type the name of the user to assign to the list. Leave this field blank
to retrieve all users. Use * as the wildcard for pattern searches. If you are a Delegated
Administrator, only users assigned to you are displayed.
b. In Directory, select the user directory from which users are to be displayed.
c. Click Go.
