Defining User Responsibilities
As a global administrator, you can set responsibilities for all levels of an auction. You can also set responsibilities for specific users. For example, you can grant catalog owners the right to administer their specific catalogs.
Catalog administrators are limited to setting responsibilities related only to their catalog. Catalog administrators typically set the default responsibilities for their own catalogs and categories and for their users.
The responsibilities predefined for Siebel eAuction are the following:
- eAuction Administrator. The user can perform any administrative or operation tasks, regardless of whether the operation is in public or private categories or catalogs. An administrator can also be a delegated catalog administrator, a user who can create auctions within existing catalogs, but without the ability to create catalogs. For more information about the delegated catalog administrator, see Siebel eSales Administration Guide.
- eAuction Registered Bidder. The user can bid on any items in the catalog for which they have been given access.
- eAuction Registered Lister. The user can post, edit, repost, and close items for sale.
NOTE: In the Auction Privilege field on the More Info form of a User record, you can select the level of bidding and listing ability you want to give this user. By assigning an auction privilege for a user, you can control the user's responsibilities and limit the views the user can access in eAuction. For example, a user can be approved for bidding or denied the ability to list items in an auction.
For more information about user access and responsibilities, see Siebel eSales Administration Guide and Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.
The Anonymous User
There is also another type of user called an Anonymous User. This user type represents users who anonymously browse the eAuction site, or users who have accessed a login page but have not yet self-registered.
For self-registering users to see appropriate views in eAuction, you must verify that the anonymous user specified for eAuction includes an appropriate responsibility in the New Responsibility field. The Bidder or Lister responsibilities will be assigned depending on the role requested by the user and the Auto approval settings.
For more information about responsibilities and the anonymous user, see Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.
