No "Admin Roles" or "Capabilities" on the Create User - Security tab

Question

I have created some Admin roles with full Capabilities for an Organisation (other than Top).
However, when I login as "Configurator", and attempt to create a user under the "Accounts" tab, I cannot see any of the "Admin Roles" created under the "Security" tab. In fact, the "Admin Roles" or "Capabilities" list boxes somehow disappear altogether.
Does anyone know what can cause the "Admin Roles" and "Capabililties" list boxes to disappear from this tab?

Answer 1

Are you using IDM version 7.0 and above? If so, it is a security feature introduced by Sun.
An administrator can assign an admin-role to a user only when he/she is designated to be the "assigner" of that role. Here's how you do it:
Go to Security -> Admin Roles tab in the admin console, and click on the role to be assigned
In the form that opens up, click "Add from Search" in the general tab and search/add the desired account.
You would expect configurator to be a default assigner to any admin-role, but even this account needs to be configured to be the assigner for each admin-role.
Hope this helps.
