Configure workflow privileges for business application user roles
You can configure requestor and approver workflow privileges for custom user roles. The requester privileges allow users with custom user roles to perform tasks that trigger a workflow in the Business 360 application. The approver privileges allow users with custom user roles to review and approve data before it becomes master data in the Business 360 application.
Use Administrator and the Security page to configure workflow privileges. Ensure that you also create a user-triggered or a system-generated business event for the custom user role. This enables a user with that custom user role to perform tasks as a requester or as an approver based on the configuration of workflow tasks in their business events.
Ensure that you assign the View Tasks privilege in the Human Tasks service in Administrator in addition to the workflow privileges enabled on the Security page. These two privileges enable the following changes for custom user roles:
•The custom user roles with workflow requester privilege appear in the Affected User Roles list when you create business events.
•The custom user roles with workflow approver privilege appear in the Approvers list when you create user-generated or system-generated business events. For more information about business events, see the Define Business Events
•The Claim, Approve, Reject, Send Back, and Release buttons are available on the Workflow Inbox page of the Business 360 application.
The Workflow Approver privilege is also applicable for two-step approval process in the workflow. It enables a user to approve, reject, or send the tasks back to the requester or intermediate approver based on the configuration of workflow tasks for business events. For more information about reviewing data by approvers, see Review Tasks.
