Selecting data using form tables
In a form, the administrator can also add form tables. Form tables are used to display user resource data from Active Direcory and other information systems.

In the UMRA Console, the administrator specifies which script actions should be run on the selected table entries. The execution of these script actions can be assigned to a button (e.g. "Reset Password"). In UMRA, a wide variety of script actions is included to create, manage and delete Active Directory objects. Finally, the administrator also specifies who has priviliges to run the project.
In figures 5 and 6, the use of a form table is shown in more detail. As part of a delegation project to reset passwords, an LDAP table is inserted in the form window to retrieve all users in a specific organizational unit in Active Directory using the query
(&(objectClass=user)(!(objectClass=computer)))
with a binding to LDAP://OU=<NameOU>, DC=MyDomain, DC=local.

This query retrieves all objects of the "user" object class in the OU "<NameOU>". Computer accounts are exempted from the results. In the resulting form table (Figure 6), a user can be selected for whom the password needs to be reset.
