Security Roles

Use Security Roles to assign members (users and groups) to roles associated with the Business Calendars module. These module roles determine the level of access that members have to timetables. You can also use Security Roles to assign system roles.

Two system roles are associated with Security Roles.

• The BPMAdmin is the overall administrator for Security Roles and has the authority to assign a user or group to the BPMRoleManager role.

• The BPMRoleManager has authority to assign users or groups to module roles (Owner, Writer, and Reader).

A timetable is a schedule of times that indicates availability (such as Monday to Friday). When a timetable is created, three module roles are automatically associated with the timetable:

• The Reader of a timetable can view the timetable, view the time intervals for the timetable, and view references to other timetables.

• The Writer can perform all the tasks that a reader can perform. In addition, writers can create, modify, and delete time intervals for a timetable.

• The Owner of a timetable can perform all the tasks that a writer can perform. In addition, owners can grant other members permission to edit or view their timetables by assigning the Reader and Writer roles to those members.

• Assigning system roles
  The BPMAdmin user can use the Security Roles widget to assign members to the BPMRoleManager role.
• Delete system role assignments
  The BPMAdmin user can use the Security Roles widget to delete one or more users from the BPMRoleManager role.
• Assigning module roles
  The BPMAdmin user can use the Security Roles widget to assign members to all module roles (Owner, Writer, or Reader). In addition, the owner of a timetable can assign members to the Owner, Writer, and Reader roles for that timetable.
• Delete module role assignments
  The BPMAdmin user can use the Security Roles widget to delete one or more users from the module role.
