Reviewer Groups

Reviewer groups defines the relationship between the review objects and their owners. For example:

• If 'Manager 1' is assigned two accounts 'Account 1' and 'Account 2', a reviewer group defines the relationship of:
• Manager 1 with Account 1
• Manager 1 with Account 2.
• If 'Role 1' has 'Owner A' and 'Owner B' assigned as owners, a reviewer group defines the relationship of:
• 'Role 1' with 'Owner A'
• 'Role 1' with 'Owner B'.
• If 'Owner A' is the owner of 'Role 1' and 'Role 2', a reviewer group defines the relationship of:
• 'Role 1' with 'Owner A'
• 'Role 2' with 'Owner A'.

Reviewer groups may be assigned as stage reviewers for processes. Certification Manager ships with standard reviewer groups and also gives you the flexibility to create custom reviewer groups according to your requirement.

The Reviewer Groups page displays all the reviewer groups in Certification Manager with details such as the name and description of the reviewer group. The Used by Application Schemas column displays the number of application schemas to which the reviewer group is assigned.

On this page you can:

• Search for a Reviewer Group
• Create or edit a Reviewer Group
• Delete a Reviewer Group: Select the reviewer group to be deleted and click the Delete icon. The deleted reviewer group will not be available for selection while creating a new application schema.

  A reviewer group cannot be deleted if it is associated to review objects in custom application schemas.

Certification Manager ships with four predefined Standard Reviewer groups, which can be assigned as stage reviewers instead of assigning individual reviewers.

• Account Manager Reviewer Group: This reviewer group links user account to managers. By assigning this reviewer group to a review stage, you can ensure that reviews for application users are reviewed by their respective managers. For example, in case of an user account - role review, the roles assigned to the user accounts are reviewed by their respective managers. Before assigning this reviewer group to a process, you need to upload the manager_account.csv file while creating the data source for which the process is being created. The manager accounts must be valid Certification Manager users.
• Role Owner Reviewer Group: This reviewer group links roles with their owners. This group is used to define processes that require role-based approvals. For example, by assigning this reviewer group to a role-user review stage, you can ensure that role assignments is approved by their respective owners. Before assigning this reviewer group to a process, you need to upload the Person_Role.csv file while creating the data source for which the process is being created.
  Note:  As SAP users are their own account owners, this file is not required for SAP.
• Business Process Owner Group: This reviewer group is assigned for IRC Rule Book/Rule Reviews. If this reviewer group is assigned as a review stage, you can ensure that reviews for rules are reviewed by the business process owners of the rule book to which the rule belongs. For example, BPO1 is a Business Process Owner of Rule Book1. In this case, reviews of all the rules in this rule book is assigned to BPO1 for approval.
• Rule Book Owner Group: If you assign this reviewer group to a review stage, you can ensure that the reviews are routed to the respective rule book owners. For example, in case of IRC Rule Book/Rule Reviews, the reviews for rules in a rule book are assigned to the owner of the rule book.
