User Sign off Roles

Users Roles

Five roles are defined for the signoff process. The following role names are by default and can be edited by a user with Administration rights in the Admin Center.

 

Preparer

The preparer is the first signoff level (lowest level) in the signoff sequence and has Read/Write rights to the units that are assigned to the user.

 

First Reviewer

The First reviewer is the second user role in the signoff sequence and has Read-Only rights to the units that are assigned to the user.

 

Second Reviewer

The Second Reviewer is the third role in the signoff sequence and has Read-Only rights to the units that are assigned to the user.

 

Third Reviewer

The Third reviewer is the fourth role in the signoff sequence and has Read-Only rights to the units that are assigned to the user.

 

Corporate

Corporate is the final role in the signoff sequence and has Read-Only rights to the units that are assigned to the user.

 

Multiple Roles/Multiple Users

A user can be assigned with multiple roles and multiple users can have the same role. This enables the user to start and end the sign off process, if necessary. Note that the first user to initiate the sign off process is recorded in the audit trail.

 

Sequential signoff roles

The system has five defined sign off roles by default. A user with Administration rights can modify the number of roles available. In the Admin Center, the user can choose to have two, three, four or five sign off roles.
