Self Update Layout Customization

Customized Interface

An administrator can create self update layouts with the simple "drag & drop" approach and choose from multiple field types for an end user to self update. The administrator can provide controlled access to one or more of all the attributes from the available fields for an end user to self update.

By default, ADSelfService Plus sets a policy for the entire domain, when it discovers DCs of a domain. Thus when you log in for the first time (as an administrator) this default policy will be shown to you. Conventionally, every self-service feature is selected. If it fits your requirement, you can retain it; else, you can edit it. Furthermore, you can configure the 4 self-service features too.
