Roles
The Roles button opens a listing of the authorization roles that are assigned directly to the selected employee. Roles determine which actions, screens, and fields the user can access, and the level of control they have, such as Read, Edit, Create, or Delete, over the elements they can access.
Note:
If an employee is assigned more than one role, and the level of access to a particular element conflicts, the employee is granted the role with the higher access level unless the data access is set to Denied. For more information, see .
Tip:
Assign roles with higher access, such as Administrative or Scheduler roles, to individual employees. From this screen you can also deny employees access to inherited roles.
Employees can also inherit the roles that are assigned to the their home labor distribution through .
Example:
An employee with a home labor distribution of Corporation A/Facility 1/Department 304/Unit 2, inherits all the roles set up in the Organization Unit screen for Corporation A, and for Facility 1, and for Department 304, and for Unit 2.
The Roles screen only displays roles assigned to the employee at the employee level, and not those assigned at the organization unit level.
Tip:
To view all roles assigned to an employee, open their TCS screen and view .
