General Tab
The General tab contains two content areas:
Role Settings
RapidIdentity Connect Integration Settings
Role Settings Tab
The General tab allows administrators to configure specific distinguished name (DN) settings.

Review the Configuration Module Interface Overview to configure RBAC or ABAC module visibility.
To configure DN settings, type the DN name or search. The search feature allows administrators to navigate and select the correct DN.

Note
The specific directory layout will likely display differently since global RapidIdentity Portal configuration determines visibility.
Upon selecting the correct LDAP entry, click OK and then modify the visible fields accordingly.
Field Name | Description |
---|---|
Roles Placement Base DN | The location in the directory where RapidIdentity Portal will store groups that it creates and manages. |
Allow Distribution List Creation | Allows the 'Distribution List' type when creating a group. Only applies to RapidIdentity Portal instances using Active Directory. |
Maximum Number of Concurrent Roles Syncs | Set the limit of groups that can sync concurrently. This is used to tune group synchronization for organizations with extremely large groups. |
Enable Role Auto-Synchronization | If selected RapidIdentity Portal will regularly (based on settings at the group level) calculate who should be a member of a particular group based on the group's settings and will then write that membership information to the group object in the directory. In eDirectory, the associated back-reference information is also written to the user object. |
Enable Group Auto-Import | Enables or disables the Roles Auto Import Job. |
Maximum Number of Roles to Return | Used for organizations with many groups. This keeps a search from potentially overloading services while it works to return a large number of groups. 0 represents no limit. |
Preload Roles | Determines if groups are loaded when a Roles tab is loaded or only when the search button is pressed. |
Enable Wildcard (*) Searches | Enables or disables the ability to do wildcard searches in any tab. |
Write SAMAccountName Value to Role (Active Directory Users Only) | If selected, the group name will also be written to the SAMAccountName attribute. |
Actions Tab
The Actions subtab allows administrators to select the global action (button) visibility specific to:
My Roles
Team Roles
Other Roles
![]() |
electing (highlighting) an action button name will allow the action button to be visible upon saving.
My Tab Actions
The selected actions are the actions displayed to the user on their MY tab within RapidIdentity Portal.
Team Tab Actions
The selected actions are the actions displayed to the user on their TEAM tab within RapidIdentity Portal.
This list represents the actions the user can take on groups that are managed by a member of the user's team.
Other Tab Actions
The selected actions are the actions displayed to the user on their OTHER tab within RapidIdentity Portal.
This list represents the actions the user can take on groups that are managed by others within the organization that the user has been configured to administer.
RapidIdentity Connect Integration Settings
Integrating RapidIdentity Connect and Roles depends on whether the organization is both licensed to RapidIdentity Connect.

Each field value is a specific RapidIdentity Connect Action Set.
The RapidIdentity Connect Action Sets are intended to enhance Notification functionality.
To see detailed examples, consult the RapidIdentity Portal Roles Module Notification Actions Guide in the RapidIdentity Portal Alternate Action Guide.
