Change system entities

View and change characteristics of entities..

We cannot change the entity type due to the associated schema definition. Instead, we must delete the entity and create an entity with the wanted type.

To change an existing entity, complete these steps.

1. Click Configure System > Manage Entities. The Manage Entities page is displayed.

2. On the Manage Entities page, select the check box next to the entity to modify, and then click Change. The Change Entity notebook is displayed.

3. Click the tab for what to edit.
   • Entity Detail Information: View or assign LDAP class and name attribute.
   • Attribute Mapping: Map attributes to customer LDAP attributes.
   • Attribute Auditing: Exclude attributes that are too long (> 4000 bytes) from auditing. The Attribute Auditing tab appears only for entities that belong to an Entity type of Account, Business Partner Person, or Person.

4. Change the entity and then click OK.

A message indicates that you successfully updated the entity.

Perform additional entity management tasks, or click Close.

• Attribute auditing
  Exclude attributes from auditing for entities of entity type Account, Business Partner Person, or Person.
