Summary

Next Topic: Proxy View >>

Recently Revoked Authority View

Actions you can do on the person view - granting, editing, or revoking - are limited by the amount of grantable authority you have. (Or, if you are acting as an authority-granting proxy for someone else, that person's authority will determine what you can do.)

If you have no grantable authority, the grant, edit, and revoke options will not appear.

If you have some grantable authority: when you click to edit or revoke an authority assignment, the system will check that you have sufficient authority to grant that same assignment - if so, you can edit or revoke it; if not, you will be prevented from modifying the assignment.

Person View

Grant new authority Grant new authority to the person identified in this view. (The Grant Wizard will begin at step 2, with step 1 pre-selected.)
Authority views - Select List The select list represents either a set of current or recently revoked assignment or proxy settings.
Assignment

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

  • the business function
  • the privilege
  • when it was granted
  • who granted it (and if that person was represented by an authority-granting proxy)
  • all the limits for the assignment
  • all the conditions for the assignment
  • whether this person can extend (grant) the privilege
Restore All

Restore all is used to reinstate assignments by subsytem (e.g., Financial Systems GL) in mass. You can only restore in mass those privileges that you can grant. If you have granting ability for only some of the revoked privileges "restore all" will reinstate those, but not the others.

Restore

You can also restore one assignment at a time individually.
