Assigning a Responsibility to a Person

You can add a responsibility to a Person, User, Employee, or Partner record. The following procedure describes how to add a responsibility to a Person record. You can assign a responsibility in the Users list or Employees list in the Administration - User screen.

If the individual does not have a current responsibility, this procedure upgrades the Person to a User. If the individual already has at least one responsibility, then the individual is already a User, an Employee, or a Partner. As such, the individual's record appears in the Persons list also, so this procedure works for any scenario.

To assign a responsibility to a Person

1. Log into a Siebel employee application as an administrator.
2. Navigate to the Administration - User screen, then the Persons view.

   The Persons list appears.

3. Select a Person record.
4. In the form, click the select button on the Responsibility field.

   A list of the responsibilities assigned to this Person appears.

5. In the Responsibilities list, click New.

   A list of responsibilities available for assigning appears.

6. Select one or more responsibilities, and then click OK.

   The selected responsibilities appear in the list of responsibilities for this Person.

7. Click OK.
8. Save the record.

NOTE:  If you want to assign the same responsibility to multiple users, you can alternatively add the users to the responsibility through the Administration - Application screen.
