View-Level Access Control

Organizations are generally arranged around functions, with employees being assigned one or more functions. View-level access control determines what parts of the Siebel application a user can access, based on the functions assigned to that user. In Siebel CRM, these functions are called responsibilities.

Responsibilities define the collection of views to which a user has access. An employee assigned to one responsibility might not have access to parts of Siebel CRM associated with another set of responsibilities. For example, typically a system administrator has the ability to view and manage user profiles, while other employees do not have this ability. Each user’s primary responsibility also controls the user’s default screen tab layout and tasks.
