Organizational roles help define processes based on a person’s position or title. By entering information about the structure of your organization, you can make processes easier to manage.
Support for LDAP means that you can use repositories of users, hierarchical organizational structures, and roles. An LDAP-based application can be used to populate the Worklist Manager with members of your organization and their organizational roles. You assign rights based on organizational role assignments.
For example, you can permit managers to view their subordinate’s activity list (also called a worklist) and to reassign tasks in that list. As a manager, when you log into your worklist, you see your tasks and the tasks of your direct reports.
For information about setting up your organization’s information in LDAP, see your third party software vendor’s user documentation.
