Controlling Visibility of a Catalog Item by Adding Conditions
Visibility controls whether a catalog item is visible for a user based on conditions. For each condition you can choose Include or Exclude. If a user matches an include condition, the item is visible. If the user matches an exclude condition, the item is not visible.
Exclude conditions are evaluated first. If a user matches an exclude condition, no further processing occurs and the item is not visible. If there are both exclude and include conditions specified, the user must not match exclude conditions and must match include conditions for the item to be visible.
By default, all catalog items are visible when the Is Enabled Global option is specified. Use the Visibility tab of the Catalog Item Properties dialog box to further customize the visibility of items.
On the Global tab, you can create conditions based on Active Directory Groups or OUs, Active Directory properties, and collections.
Important:The creation of a condition based upon Active Directory device groups is not supported.
To create a condition, perform the following steps:
To create a condition:
1. | Open the Visibility tab of the catalog item’s Catalog Item Properties dialog box. |
2. | On the Global > Group and OU tab, click the Add Condition button. |
3. | Search for the group or OU you want to add and place a check mark next to the item found. |
4. | Click the Select button to add the condition. |
5. | After the condition is added, specify the Enforcement option you want to take effect: Include or Exclude. |
6. | Click Save. |
7. | Follow a similar procedure to add conditions to the AD Property and Collections tabs. |
