Deciding How Many Roles to Assign Users

The system filters menus when users open a task view or expand a folder. If a user is assigned many roles and a depth of many imbedded tasks, they might want to sign into EnterpriseOne using the *ALL role, but switch to a specific role before opening a task view. This will decrease the amount of time for the filtering process.

When setting up menu filtering, consider the number of roles that each user requires. JD Edwards recommends that you keep the number of roles to a minimum. Increasing the number of roles increases the amount of time it takes to filter the tasks when users choose the *ALL (All My Roles) in the web client.
