Defining Partner Responsibilities


This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Siebel PRM.

Responsibilities specify which views users can access.

For example, you can create the responsibilities of Salesperson, which includes the My Opportunities view; Sales Manager, which includes both the My Opportunities and My Team's Opportunities views; and Sales Director, which includes the My Opportunities, My Team's Opportunities, and All Opportunities views.

If you are using delegated administration, you make one partner employee the delegated administrator by assigning that employee the responsibility of Partner Operations Manager, which lets that partner employee see the delegated administration views of the Siebel PRM Portal. Then, while adding employees, the delegated administrator assigns them responsibilities that you have created.

An employee in your company (usually your system administrator) must create the responsibilities. To make sure that partner users are not given access to inappropriate data, delegated administrators at partner companies cannot create responsibilities. They can only select from the list of responsibilities to which you have given them access.

Use the Administration - Application screen, Responsibilities view to create responsibilities.

In the seed data that is distributed with Siebel PRM, all responsibilities on the Siebel PRM Manager side begin with "Channel," and all responsibilities on the Siebel PRM Portal side begin with "Partner." The responsibilities included in the seed data are shown in Table 4 and Table 5.
