Design question: Change Group membership for a AD resource via SelfService

Question

Hi all,
based on the OIM tutorials, I designed OIM that way that an end user can successfully request a resource. Is there a way to allow end users to modify their resource "subscriptions"? For example, I would like to allow end users to change their AD group memberships after the initial provision to the resource.
From what I have learned from the tutorials, I would assume to create an AD group membership attribute in the user account profile form and propagate changes to that attribute back to AD.
Or is there a way to allow end users to change their resource data directly under "My Resources" ?

Answer 1

there is no concept of requesting a modification of an already provisoned account. Like you said this can be achieved thru an attribute on the user's profile and on changing that attribute, downstream applications can be propagated the new value.
Typically if changes to an already proviisoned account needs to be done in oim and through oim, an oim admin goes to the user's resource profile and clicks on edit on the process form and can edit any data there. in case of ad groups, there will be a child process form that shows the groups that the user is a member of, you can insert(add) new groups or delete existing groups from there and save the form. In the proviisoning porcess of AD you will need to write a porcess task, which should add/remove the user from the specified group in AD on the trigger when a new group is added or an existing group is removed wehn the admin is modifying the user's AD process form/process child forms in oim.
