Creating component-type resources

Component-type resources represent the components that are deployed to target environments.

About this task

Component-type resources are created on the Resources page. The Resources page displays resources in a hierarchical tree structure. Each row on the Resources page represents a resource and has a context-sensitive Action menu that is associated with it. The available actions depend on whether the resource represents an agent, agent pool, component, or an organizational group.

Procedure

  1. Open the Resources page. In addition to the Resources page, resources can be displayed in several ways, such as adding resources to an environment.
  2. To create a resource, open the Action menu for the resource where you want to create the resource. New resources are inserted below the selected resource. Components can be added below agents, agent pools, and other components.
  3. From the Component list, select the component that you want to associate with the resource.
  4. In the Name field, enter a name for the resource. Note that is selected by default.
  5. If you want the team that manages the resource's parent to manage the new resource, select the Inherit Teams From Parent check box. Note that it is selected by default.
  6. If you do not want the parent team to manage this resource, clear the Inherit Teams From Parentcheck box. You can optionally add a team by using the Teams action, then selecting a team.
  7. Optional. If you added the component resource below an agent, agent pool, or another component, the option to define default user impersonation credentials is available. See Defining default user impersonation credentials for information about setting impersonation credentials.
  8. If the component associated with the resource has any resource properties defined for it, they are displayed in the Role Properties area where you can set their value. If you change the default value, the Reset to Default action is displayed in the Actions field.
  9. Save your work.
