Creating Resources Using the Create BPM Resource Function

Creating a resource using the Create BPM Resource function allows you to add the resource to the database without having to map the resource to a group or position.

1. From the Organization Browser, select the LDAP container containing the candidate resource you want to create, then select one or more candidate resources.
2. Click the Create BPM Resource button ().
3. On the Create Selected Resources dialog, optionally specify a different name in the Resource Name field.

   The resource name is the name the user must use to log into BPM applications. If the resource is a "BPM resource" in another LDAP container, you must provide a different resource name, otherwise a message is displayed when you click Create, stating that the name already exists; the resource is not created.

   Note: Only one case variation of a resource name is allowed, across all LDAP containers. For example, if there is already a resource with the name "Clint Hill", you cannot create a resource with the name of "clint hill".
4. Click Create.

Result

The icon to the left of the resource name changes to a , indicating that the resource is now a BPM resource, and is now able to log into the BPM application.
