Service Objects
The Account Management service exposes the following Service Objects:
- AD Group
- AD User
SmartObjects
If Active Directory is present during installation, the product automatically generates SmartObjects for the service objects of the service instance. SmartObjects can be automatically created by selecting the Generate SmartObjects for this Service Instance check box when creating a new Service Instance. Designers can use the SmartObject design tools to build advanced SmartObjects that leverage the Service Objects in this service. It is recommended to use the SmartObject 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 environment. Do not modify or delete the existing service instance. You can create a new instance or use the methods from the existing instance
