Organization View

The organization view shows all assignments that have been scoped explicitly to this organization. People who have authority in this organization have implicit authority in all its child organizations. However, authority that is scoped explicitly to a child organization is shown only in the child's organization view, not in the parent org's view.

 

Link to parent organization If you are looking for a person who has a specific privilege, and you don't see one listed on this organization view, click the link to the parent organization, and look for the privilege there. Anyone who has a privilege in the parent organization has the same implicit authority in the child.
Grant button Grant new authority to someone, scoped to this organization. (The Grant Wizard will begin at step 1, with step 3 pre-selected.)
Subsystem Each type of authority (Financial, HR, Student) is listed in its own section.
Business function Each business function is shown on a blue bar, with the privileges of that function listed alphabetically below it. Only the business functions and privileges that have been assigned in this organization are listed.
Assignment

Each alternating white or grey row represents one assignment. Each assignment shows:

  • the privilege
  • the person who has the privilege
    ... and for each person:
    • the limits for the assignment
    • the conditions of the assignment
    • whether the person can grant the privilege

Each person's name is linked: you can click it to see their person view.

Limits

The Limits column shows all the limits that apply to this authority assignment. Not all privileges require limits to be set; others may have several types of limits.

If an assignment shows Pending Prerequisites, it means the person must complete the prerequisites for this privilege before the authority can take effect. Click the more info...icon to see which prerequisites are incomplete.

Grantable

If there is a checkmark in the Grantable column, this person can grant this privilege, up to and including his/her own limits.
