### Extend Schema

Use this page to extend your eDirectory™ schema.

The schema defines the types of objects that can be created in your tree (such as Users, Printers, and Groups) and what information is required or optional at the time the object is created. Every object has a defined schema class for that type of object.

The schema that originally shipped with the product is called the base schema. After the base schema has been modified in any way, such as adding a new class or a new attribute, then it is considered the extended schema.

You don't have to extend the schema, but you have the ability to do so.

IMPORTANT:The schema that is needed in order to use the Role-Based Services (RBS) objects in iManager 2.0.x is different than the schema used in iManager 1.5.x. The iManager 2.0 Configuration Wizard extends the eDirectory schema in order for it to work with the new iManager 2.0.x RBS objects. Make sure you run the iManager 2.0 Configuration Wizard before you run iManager 2.0.x.
