Examples of Authorization types

This topic lists the examples for different Authorization types.

Example

Project Manager or Cost Engineer is only allowed to:

  • See certain Projects.
  • Use certain Projects

Example

All employees who are authorized to create requisitions are only allowed to:

  • View own Requisitions.
  • Modify own Requisitions.

Example

While employee X is on holiday, employee Y is allowed to:

  • View Requisitions of employee X
  • Modify Requisitions of employee X

You could use the AMS and DEM functionality to assign permissions to employees, which was used to control session access. Using the Authorization and Security functionality, you can now provide authorizations to specific business objects (Projects, Purchase Orders, RFQs, and so on) considering the related attributes. For example, register project hours for a project that is part of a specific program.
