Chapter 5. Managing Entries with Roles, Class of Service, and Views

Members of a role can be temporarily disabled by inactivating the role to which they belong. Inactivating a role inactivates the entries possessed by the role, not the role itself.

To temporarily disable the members of a role, do the following:

1.In the Directory Server Console, select the Directory tab.

2.Browse the navigation tree in the left pane to locate the base DN for the role. Roles appear in the right pane with other entries.

3.Select the role. Select Inactivate from the Object menu. Alternatively, right-click the role and select Inactivate from the menu.

The role is inactivated.

To see the inactivated entries, select Inactivation State from the View menu. A red slash through the role icon indicates that the role has been inactivated.

1.2.7. Reactivating a Role

To reactivate a disabled role:

1.In the Directory Server Console, select the Directory tab.

2.Browse the navigation tree in the left pane to locate the base DN for the role. Roles appear in the right pane with other entries.

3.Select the role. Select Activate from the Object menu. Alternatively, right-click the role and select Activate from the menu. The role is reactivated.

To see inactivated entries, select Inactivation State from the View > Display menu. The role icon appears as normal, indicating that the role is active.

1.2.8. Deleting a Role

Deleting a role deletes the role only, not its members. To delete a role, do the following:

1.In the Directory Server Console, select the Directory tab.

2.Browse the navigation tree in the left pane to locate the base DN for the role. Roles appear in the right pane with other entries.

3.Right-click the role, and select Delete.
