Setting Up News Administrators, Authors, and Approvers

Before a user can author and approve news stories, the administrator must associate the user with the appropriate responsibilities.

Siebel ERM is preconfigured with several responsibilities specific to Group News, which organizations can use to set up Group News users. Table 12 describes the preconfigured Group News responsibilities.
