Defining RBS Roles
RBS roles specify the tasks that users are authorized to perform in specific
administration applications. Defining an RBS role includes creating an RBS
role object and specifying the tasks that the role can perform. In some cases,
administration applications might provide a few predefined RBS role objects
that you can modify.
The application tasks that RBS roles can perform are exposed as RBS task
objects in your eDirectory tree. These objects are added automatically during
installation of one or more administration applications. They are organized
into one or more RBS modules, which are containers that correspond to the
different functional modules of the application.
HINT: If your organization has developed a custom administration application that
uses RBS objects, you can create the RBS objects for it manually as explained in
“Creating RBS Objects for Custom Applications” on page 64.
