Hi
I have been tasked with setting up an AR webui that will show Managers their Direct Reports that are of a certain employeeType. The scenario is the managers should be able to review all their agency workers and then modify certain attributes of those accounts.
I had already modified the Self Service Page to allow Managers to manage their groups so I though this would be a similar exercise.
I have tried various ways of doing this; setup a couple of users to test on with me as the Manager.
- Adding Direct Reports to the Users form. On the Advanced tab, modify the LDAP search filter to find users with only Agency employee type set. This doesn't seem to work, in fact anything I try doesn't seem the change the results - I get the same two users.
- Created a Custom search task. Pulls back all Agency Workers as I couldn't work out how to pipe the details of the logged in user into the search criteria ie Managedby="DN of logged in User"
- Created a custom Entitlement Profiles. Which sort of works (only if I put the manager as Owner), but is messy and means the webUI will include all the entitlement profiles.
If anyone has any other ideas I would be most grateful.
BTW I was planning to give permissions to the appropriate attributes by creating a MU and aligning a template to it and using the Primary/secondary Owner principals to allocate permissions.
Lastly, and I hope this makes sense, when the Managers open up this page they just need to see a list of their Agency Workers with a few attributes (they don't need to see their own details). They then select one of their users and modify a couple of VAs. The problem I have is that if I don't include the User Details on the initial page then they don't appear on the second. I almost need two pages with different definitions?
Thanks for all and any help
