Setting Up News Administrators, Authors, and Approvers


As an administrator, you assign responsibilities to other administrators, content managers and authors, allowing these users to author and approve news stories and access views.

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.

This task is a step in Process of Managing Group News.

    NOTE:  The Views and Users lists at the bottom of the screen list users assigned to the selected responsibility, and the views the user can access. You can add or remove views associated with a responsibility according to your organization's needs, or you can create a new responsibility. For more information on creating and modifying responsibilities, see the Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.

  3. In the Users list, click New, and query to find the user you want to add.

    The user you add is associated with the Group News responsibility you selected.

  4. In the Views list, review the list of views that the user can access, and modify as needed.

    For example, you can remove views by selecting the view and clicking delete or designate the views as read-only by selecting the Read-Only check box.
