Create a Service for Creating and Modifying a User
By using Advanced Service Designer, you can create and publish a catalog item for provisioning a user in
a group. You can also associate a new post-provisioning operation to the provisioned user, for example,
an operation allowing the consumers to change the user password.
In this scenario, as a service architect, you create a new custom resource, a service blueprint, and
publish a catalog item for creating a user. You create service and include the catalog item in the service.
You also create a resource action for changing the password of the user. In addition, you edit the
workflow presentation of the catalog item by using the form designer and change the way the consumers
see the request form.
As a business group manager or a tenant administrator, you entitle the newly created service, catalog
item, and resource action to a consumer.
Prerequisites
Verify that the Active Directory plug-in is properly configured and you have the rights to create users in
Active Directory.
Procedure
1 Create a Test User as a Custom Resource
