Defining Access Control Rules for Promotion Group Members

To control who is authorized to add members to or remove members from a promotion group, you can create access control rules for a promotion group definition. Your Siebel application enforces those rules at run time, when users add or remove members at the request of customers. To set up access rights for the promotion groups generated from a promotion group definition, follow this procedure.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Promotion Groups (Administrators).

To define access control rules for promotion group members

1. Navigate to the Administration - Product screen, then the Promotion Groups view.
2. In the Promotion Group Definitions list, select the promotion group definition for which you are specifying access rules.
3. Click the Access Control view tab.
4. In the Access Control list, add a new record and complete the fields.

   Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   Membership	This field lists all the membership definitions for the selected promotion group definition.
   Access Type	Use this field to define the type of access for the selected membership definition. The options are as follows: Manage Members. This option defines the ability to add, disconnect, and modify members in the entire promotion group. Manage Self. This option defines the ability to disconnect or modify one's own membership. This option does not include the ability to add oneself to the membership. Add Self. This option defines the ability to add oneself to the membership. View Members. This option defines the ability to view the promotion group members. Modify Self. This option defines the ability to modify the membership. Disconnect Self. This option defines the ability to disconnect oneself from the membership.

5. (Optional) If you want to attach more than one set of access rights to a membership, create additional records with the same value in the Membership fields and different values in the Access Rights fields.

   NOTE:  More than one access control record can include the same access right for the same membership without generating any errors. The design-time screen does not prevent you from creating such rules, and the run-time engine ignores the redundancies. For information about how access control rules affect the run time behavior of your Siebel application, see Promotion Group Access Control Reference.
