Roles - Role Chooser
The tasks you see in the Navigator menu are filtered by role. Your system administrator decides the tasks that are available for each role and then assigns the role to you. You can have one or many roles assigned to you. You choose which role you want to use at the time you sign into EnterpriseOne. The role you choose determines the tasks that are available to you. Your ability to choose roles at sign in and to choose roles from the Navigator menu depends on if your system administrator has given you permissions to do so. If she/he has not, then you can only sign in using the *ALL (All My Roles) role. When signed in as *ALL, the EnterpriseOne Menu displays a concatenated list of all the tasks enabled for each role that is included in *ALL.
Your system administration determines the roles that are included in *ALL role.
If enabled by your system administrator, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Menu bar displays the Role drop-down menu. This menu enables you to display different sets of tasks by role. You can either select *ALL – ALL My Roles to view a concatenated view of all of the tasks assigned to all of the roles in the *ALL role. Or you can select an individual role and view only the tasks for that role. Only the roles that are included in the *ALL role appear in the drop-down menu. If your system administrator has not enabled you to choose roles, the Roles drop-down menu will not appear. Instead, you only see the *ALL role and the tasks enabled within that role. This feature is only available if your system administrator has enabled viewing tasks by role. You sign in using *ALL.
Security is determined by the role you choose at sign in and does not change if you select a different role from the user menu after signing in. Changing your role after sign in only filters the naviagtion menu and does not change your security permissions, such as the EnterpriseOne page content you see, which continues to reflect the role used at sign in.
