Granting User Access to Business Processes
 
Granting Access to Business Processes
You can control access to business process data in Optimize for Process. With Optimize's data-level security features, you can use roles to specify data-access parameters for users and groups.
Granting a role access to a business process allows anyone in that role to view business process data in Optimize. If a user or group belongs to more than one role, that user or group will have access to the business process data as long as access is granted to at least one of the roles to which the user or group belongs.
After a role is created, access must be assigned. By default, roles do not have access to business processes. Data-level security must be enabled for users and groups to view business process data. If data-level security is enabled, users must be assigned access to view business processes. For instructions for enabling data-level security, see Enabling Data-Level Security.
