Without a responsibility, a user cannot use the Siebel application, because that user cannot access any views. You can also assign tab layouts and tasks to responsibilities. For more information, see Managing Tab Layouts Through Responsibilities and Managing Tasks Through Responsibilities. To define a responsibility, you must specify which views are available to that responsibility. It is recommended that you use the responsibilities that are provided as seed data, where applicable. These can be copied and then customized. Then define any additional responsibilities you require that correspond to the major job functions in your organization. For example, you might use or create responsibilities for the marketing administrator, the sales manager, and sales representatives. The sales representative responsibility might have access to all views except those reserved for sales management, marketing administration, and applications administration. The sales manager responsibility might have access to the same views as the sales representative, plus the sales manager views, and so on.

For instance, you cannot change the Siebel administrator responsibility. You can copy the seed responsibilities and modify the copies. When you are defining responsibilities, consider the following issues:
