Service Keys (Service Instance Configuration Settings)
| Key | Can be modified | Data Type | Sample Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Service Objects
The Account Management service typically exposes the following Service Objects:
- AD Group
- AD User
SmartObjects
If an AD environment is configured during installation, K2 automatically generates SmartObjects for the Service Objects in the Service. SmartObjects are automatically created when selecting the Generate SmartObjects for this Service Instance check box when creating a new Service Instance. Designers may use the available Service Objects in this service to create advanced SmartObjects using the available K2 SmartObject design tools. It is recommended to use the K2 Design tools to create SmartObjects rather than generating SmartObjects, since this allows better control over the naming, behavior and design of the SmartObject and its methods and properties.
Considerations
- The default Service Instance of this service is used internally by the K2 environment. Do not modify or delete the existing service instance. You can create a new instance or use the methods from the existing instance
