Phase 8: Configuration > Roles and job positions
While the organizational structure of Deyel defines the areas or offices of the company, the hierarchical relations between them and the actors that make it up, the roles allow to define groups of actors that have activities and common responsibilities, but are cross or parallel to the organizational structure.
The actors of a role can be users, organizational units or users that belong to these units. Each role can have defined a set of security permissions, that are assigned to the users comprising such role or to the users whose organizational unit integrates the role.
In the modeling of business processes, this concept is used to define that an activity can be executed by any of the members of the role. In agile forms, roles can be used to define who can do operations on form instances.
An organizational unit and a user can belong to multiple roles.
