Link Properties - update user?

[former_member2987]

Hi fellow IDMers!

Question for the group mind. If I am writing in a role assignment and I am writing to MXREF_MX_ROLE using {A}, I know I can update the reason for the role assignment using {REASON=I said so!} but can I also write in LinkAssigner based on this link? From what I'm seeing it reads more like this is something you access to the database.

If this is not the right method, is there a way to update the assigner so that when one looks at the assignment properties they see who added the role?

In case it should matter, I'm finally working with IDM8. One should expect a blog eventually on my experiences. (hint: very mixed bag)

Cheers,

Matt

Uuuuuh, nice! Some of my users use an upload-job via the admin UI to add/change role assignments. I'll see if I can somehow get the logged-in user-mskey to add to the assignment so it's clearer who managed it (at the moment I only add the reason, too).

.

Thanks for the food for thought, Matt. ^^

Hello Matt,

Yes, you can use LINKASSIGNER Property to maintain the requestor of the assignment (Role/ Privilege).

for eg.,

For new assignment

{A}{LINKASSIGNER=<mskey of requestor>!!LINKREASON=<REASON>!!VALIDFROM=<validity>!!VALIDTO=<validity>}rolemskey

Updating an existing assignment

{A}{LINKID=<get the mcunique id from mxi_link or idm_link_ext for that particualr assigment>!!LINKASSIGNER=<mskey of requestor>!!LINKREASON=<REASON>!!VALIDFROM=<validity>!!VALIDTO=<validity>}rolemskey

Note: do not use the angular brackets <>

Thanks, Deva. I was hoping that would be the case, but the way the help page was written, it's somewhat ambiguous.

Cheers,
