Master Data Management

Configure Business Processes in a Position

A Security Administrator can add business processes to a position to configure which business processes the position can access.

Business processes can be included in a position from multiple categories. This allows the Security Administrator to include roles and org units from multiple categories in a position.

Before performing this task, design the governance elements in Master Data Management > Design and add a position. Refer to MDM Design Process Overview and Add a Position for more information.

NOTE: When using Unrestricted Position access, there is no relationship between a business process and a role within a position. If a user has multiple positions they will receive security to all business process-role combinations across all positions and access to all requests assigned to those roles. If the security must be more granular, you must create a new position and or new role(s) to grant different users access to the same role across different business processes, or use Restricted Positions. Refer to Set Restricted Position Access for more information.

To configure business processes in a position in MDM:

1. Select Master Data Management > Security > Positions in the Navigation pane.

2. Click the Business Processes icon for a position.

   View the field descriptions for the Position Business Process page.

3. Select one or more business processes, and then click the Include or Remove icon as needed.

   NOTE: The Include All option allows the user to include all of the business processes in the position without having to scroll through the list and select them all first.

Next, configure roles in a position.
