Associating a Responsibility with a Business Service

This topic describes how you can associate a responsibility with a business service to control access to the business service and its methods. You carry out the following procedure through the Business Service Access view.

To associate a responsibility with a business service

1. Log in as an administrator.
2. Navigate to the Administration - Application screen, then the Business Service Access view.
3. In the Business Service list, click New to select a business service.

   A new record appears in the Business Service list.

4. Click the Select button in the Name field.

   The Business Service dialog box appears.

5. Select the business service to which you want to control access, then click OK.

   The selected business service appears in the Business Service list view.

6. In the Access By Responsibility list view, click New.

   The Add Responsibilities dialog box appears.

7. Select a responsibility to associate with the business service that you selected in Step 5, and then click OK.

   The selected responsibility appears in the Access By Responsibility list view.

8. In the Business Service Method list, click New to specify the business service methods to which the responsibility selected in Step 7 gains access.

   The Business Service Method dialog box appears. This dialog box displays the list of business service methods to which access is currently controlled.

9. If the business service method to which you want to allow the responsibility access appears in the Business Service Method dialog box, select it, then click OK and go to Step 12. If not, go to Step 10.

   TIP:   To allow you to restrict access to business service methods without associating them with a real responsibility, Siebel Business Applications have provided a responsibility Default Bus Service Method Access Control User. Use the steps described in this procedure to associate all business service methods to which you want to control access with Default Bus Service Method Access Control User. This makes sure that the Business Service Method dialog box is populated with the business service methods to which you want to control access.

10. Click the Select button in the Name field.

    The Business Service Method dialog box appears.

11. Select a business service method to associate with the responsibility selected in Step 3, and then click OK.

    The selected business service method appears in the Business Service Method list view.

    NOTE:  By default, if you do not specify the business service methods to which the responsibility gains access, then the responsibility gains access to all business service methods of the business service provided that none of the business service methods have restricted access.

12. From the Broadest Visibility list, select the view mode to associate with the responsibility.

    NOTE:  The business service selected in Step 5 must support view modes to allow you to select a value from the Broadest Visibility list.

13. Step off the record to save changes.
