Guide to Create a Role and Assign to User
Step 1: Create a role
- Expand Security by clicking on the plus sign.
- Click Role Manager
- Click on the Add button.
- Fill in the following fields:
- Name*: Enter a name for this role
- For example, you could call it "Audit" for the auditors.
- Operating Unit: If a role needs to be restricted to a specific operating unit, then select a value in this field. This will allow access to data related to the selected operating unit.
- Department: If a role needs to be restricted to a specific department, then select a value in this field. This will allow access to data related to the selected department.
- Group*: Select a group if the role needs to be restricted based on a group user is apart of. This only impacts the Expense and Time access and not the set up of the application. Make sure that the access list is restricted to avoid unwanted changes.
- My Department - This only allows role user to view the users that are apart of the department that they approve for in the application. The approval has to be set up under Department →Approval Flow.
- My Reports/Timesheet - This only allows role user to view your own expense reports and timesheets.
- My Proxy - This only allows the role user to view the expense reports and timesheets related to those they have proxy access for in the application.
- My Team - This only allows role user to view expense reports and timesheets of those users that they approval for in the application.
- Read Only: If this box is checked, all access to Admin will be read only and will not allow editing of data.
- Introduction: A brief description of the role.
- Name*: Enter a name for this role
- Click Save to save this role.
- Notice that the split screen opens and a new tab appears, called Access List.
- Click on Access List. This is where you will specify what access the role will have within Admin.
- Click on the Add button.
- Select the items that the user will be able to see from this list (Notice there is more than one page). SEE TABLE BELOW.
- For Example, if I want to create a role for those auditors where they can only search and view expense reports, I would select the following:
- util - ExpenseSearch
- Click OK
- After the role is set up, you just need to assign it to the users that are going to be in that role.
- Employee.AdminRole.ReadOnly - Role allows user full admin access to Add, Modify and Delete, but restricts the ability to give or modify users 'Admin Role'.
- Employee.TEAccess.ReadOnly - Role limits employee time and expense right to 'Read Only'.
* Indicates a required field
Step 2: Assign a role
- Expand Organization by clicking on the plus sign.
- Click Employee
- Find the employee you want assign to this new group.
- Make sure the box next to Admin Role is checked (on the employee tab). Note that the T&E Access does not have to say "Main Administrator" for this to work.
- Click Save
- Once the Admin Role box is checked, a new tab Admin Roles will be available.
- Click on Admin Roles
- Check the box next to "Administrators" and then click Delete (this is a default role that gives users access to all of Admin so we don't need it selected for this particular user if we're limiting them)
- Click Add
- Select the role that you set up (in the example, it was called "Audit").
- Click OK
- The user is now set up with that role so they will only see the role selected when they access admin.
- For example, the "Audit" will only see Expense Search. They will not be able to validate, approve, delete, or any other actions that were selected.
