Add a Position

A Security Administrator can add a position to configure the business processes, roles, and org units that a user assigned to that position can access.

NOTE: A user must belong to the Users Manager WebApp Group in dspConduct™ to configure security for dspConduct™ users.

Position security is used to establish security for users in the Content WebApp.

NOTE: When positions are changed in dspConduct™, the changes automatically result in changes to what business processes, roles, and data the users can access in the Content WebApp.

Before performing this task, design the governance elements in dspConduct™ > Design. Refer to dspConduct™ Design Process Overview for more information.

To add a position in dspConduct™:

  1. Select dspConduct > Security > Positions in the Navigation pane.

  2. If no records exist, the page displays in add mode. Otherwise, click Add.

    View the field descriptions for the Position page.

  3. Enter a name for the position in the NAME field.

  4. Enter a description for the position in the DESCRIPTION field.

  6. Enter an expiration date for the position in the EXPIRATION DATE field (optional).

    NOTE: When the date entered is past, the position is considered expired, and the security settings for the position are removed for the users assigned to the position.
