Completing a typical
admin task using remote requests is a three-step process that requires the operation types search, query, and execute be called in the following sequence:
  1. Retrieve a list of managed objects using the search operation which corresponds to the
    admin task.
  2. Retrieve profile and relationship information for a particular managed object using the corresponding query operation.
  3. Submit a remote request for
    to execute the admin action on the managed object.
Most admin task operations, such as Modify User, Modify Group, and Modify Admin Task, have corresponding search and query operations for retrieving objects and profile data. For example, the three operations to modify a user are:
  • ModifyUserSearch
  • ModifyUserQuery
  • ModifyUser
Not all
admin tasks require the three-step process. The SelfRegistration task can be completed with one remote request.
