Manage Application Roles

You must grant each user the appropriate application role for each organization that they must access by creating User Role Setup records.

About User Role Setup

Vault Safety controls user access to information and records at the organization level. Each time you add new user or Organization to Vault Safety, you must assign application roles. Assign application roles by creating User Role Setup records.

Users must be assigned an application role in their organization to see Case-related data and participate in Case Processing workflows. A single user can have a different role in each organization they have access to. You can assign users to multiple organizations and multiple roles per organization.

Set Up User Roles

  1. Go to Business Admin > Objects > User Role Setup and select Create.
    The Create User Role Setup page appears.
    You can also create user role setup records on a user profile from the Business Admin > Objects > Users page.
  2. Complete the following fields:
    • User: Select the user that you want to assign the role to.
    • Role: Select the Application Role that you want to assign the user.
    • Organization: Select the organization that the user should have access to with the application role.
    • Status: To make the role assignment active, select Active. To save the role assignment record for future use, select Inactive.
  3. Select Save.

Result

The user is granted access to case information and workflows for the organization, according to their application role.
