Roles
The available roles are listed under the list item “Roles” in the Administration Client. The default system roles include the administrator, deployer, guest, member, processdesigner, processmanager, rulesadministrator and starter. The administrator can create additional system and business roles (see Administration). Business roles can be assigned to users within a group and are used solely for administrative purposes. (exception: Team-Manager ). System roles can be directly assigned to users.
| Right/Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Administrator | The role “administrator” grants access to the Administrations Client, where the general properties can be managed (e.g. user and group administration). |
| Deployer | The role “deployer” enables the user to deploy process definitions to TIM. |
| Guest | The role “guest” grants the user no rights |
| Member | The role “member” grants the user general access to TIM as well as the ToDo Client. The role “member” is obligatory for every user. |
| Processdesigner | The role “processdesigner” grants the user access to the Process Repository. The Process Repository enables the user to deploy and administer process definitions without a modeling software. |
| Processmanager | The role “processmanager” grants the user access to the Process Manager Client. The Process Manager Client enables the process manager to control and monitor processes. |
| Rulesadministrator | The role “rulesadministrator” enables administrators to create rules matrices in the Administration Client. Rules matrices can be used to map/illustrate rules within a process (i.e. approval of monetary upper-limits) |
| Starter | The role “starter” enables the user to start process instances of assigned process definitions. |
Differences Between the Roles **Member** and **Processmanager**
The role member grants access to the ToDo-client. In the ToDo Client, the user can work on assigned tasks.
The role processmanager grants access to the Process Manager Client.
Therefore the role processmanager grants the following additional rights:
- Review all process instances for which the user has the right “Owner”
- Review, assign and edit tasks from the respective process instances (irrespective of users and groups).
- Review and edit activities of the respective process instances
- Review and edit general process information and status (CPM, duration, swim lanes)
- Access the process archive and display reports
- Use instances as templates
- Review Gantt charts
- Review the assignment history of tasks
