Setting Up PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Privileges and Profiles

For a user to submit process requests, his or her user ID must have a process profile, which defines the user’s privileges in PeopleSoft Process Scheduler. For example, a user can override an output destination for a request and be limited to what can be viewed on the Process Monitor page.

Use the process profile page to set up the user’s access in PeopleSoft Process Scheduler and define a process profile with the proper authorizations and default settings.

To update a process profile:

  2. Select the Process page.

  3. Click the Process Profile Permissions link.

  4. In the Workstation Destinations and Server Destinations group boxes, enter a default file and printer destination for the client and server.

  5. Select the appropriate options in the Allow Process Request group box.

    This section enables you to adjust the level of access rights that all other users have for viewing and updating process requests that are initiated by the users under a particular profile. Both view and update rights can be changed to Owner, All, or None. The default enables the process request to be viewed by all and updated only by the owner. If you view by owner, no one else can view the status of the process in Process Monitor. Make any necessary adjustments to the user rights.
