Setting Up a Role Relationship

After you have defined a role, you can associate users with it and apply security to it to provide the appropriate level of access to EnterpriseOne functions. You can assign more than one user to a role, or you can assign more than one role to a user. To establish a role relationship, you use the Role Relationships application (P95921), which enables you to add, remove, or revise a role relationship for a user. Role relationships are revised by removing an assigned role or by changing the expiration date for an assigned role.

In the Fast Path, enter P95921 to access the Work With Role Relationships form.

1. Complete the User field and click Find.

   The system displays the user's assigned roles and the available roles in separate tree controls.

2. Select a role from the Available Roles tree control and click the left arrow button to add it to the list of assigned roles.

3. On the Role Revisions form, enter an effective date if you want an effective date that is different from today's date.

   Today's date is the default value for the Effective Date field. If you do not use the default value, enter a date later than today's date; otherwise the software returns an error message.

4. Enter an expiration date in the Expiration Date field, if one is needed.

   The role will expire at the beginning of the day of the date that you enter. The role will not expire if you do not complete the Expiration Date field.

5. Select the Include in ALL* option if you want the role to be one that the user can play if the user enters JD Edwards EnterpriseOne playing all roles, and click OK.

   If you do not select the Include in *ALL option, this role will not be part of the active roles when the user enters EnterpriseOne using *ALL as his role at sign-in. To activate a role that is not included in *ALL, the user must select that particular role when signing on to the system. The role selected will be the only active role during that session.
