Option

Description

ID

A unique identifier for the resource.

Description

The resource name that is displayed to users.

Type

The resource type options available depend on network resource management plugin settings on the Target system information page.

SMB Protocol for Active Directory DN (nrcifs):

  • Shares/Folders

  • Printers

  • Mail distribution lists

SharePoint Resource (nrshrpt):

  • Sites

  • Documents

UNC path/URL

(Shares/Folders only) The path to the network share that you want to manage, for example, \\<servername>\<sharename>.

Alternately, you can use <IPAddress> instead of <servername>.

(Sites or Documents only) The URL to the SharePoint server that you want to manage; for example, http://sharepoint1:2427/sitename.

Target system of the resource

The target system mediates access to the source.

Users can only see sub-resources if they have rights to the resource

(Shares/Folders or Sites only) Click this checkbox if you want to limit users who can view subfolders to those who belong to a group that can view the parent folder.

For resources automatically created by the Shell Extension, this is controlled by the IDR NETWORK RESOURCE VALIDATE setting..



Once resources are set up, they are available to users via the Request access to network resources link in the self-service menu.
