Business Roles Linked to Action Plans
Presentation of the solution interface depends on the business role selected by the user at connection to the application; the tree of menus and functions can vary from one business role to another.
Before organizing work with MEGA, appropriate teams must be set up and roles and responsibilities assigned. To do this, a set of tools enables creation and management of the different participants.
*For more details on management of users, profiles and roles, see the MEGA Administration - Supervisor guide.
In HOPEX Collaboration Manager, each business role is associated with a single profile.
*For more details on the characteristics of roles, see "Profiles Linked to Action Plans".
Action Plan Manager
Has authorizations for creation of action plans and their associated actions. He/she can access all follow-up reports. The action plans created by the Action Plan Manager respect top-down workflow.
Action Plan Owner
Has authorizations for modification of action plans and creation of associated actions. He/she can only access action plans of which he/she is the owner. He/she cannot access follow-up reports of all action plans.
Action Owner
Has authorizations to access their assigned actions. The "Action Owner" can also consult the action plans containing his actions.
Action plan approver
This is the person who can approve starting an action plan.
It is not a connection role, since it is not associated with a profile. User of a MEGA solution, the approver has another role elsewhere.
Action plan creator
This role can be used by a user to modify his action plans and to create new ones. However, the new action plans must be validated by an approver before being implemented (workflow Bottom-Up). An Action plan creator can also create or modify the actions of his action plans.
Profiles Linked to Action Plans
Profiles define rights associated with roles. Profiles can be composed between themselves, for example the "Action Plan User" profile is a technical sub-profile of other profiles.
The profiles used are:
Action Plan Manager
Action Plan Creator
Action Plan Owner
Action Owner
Action Plan User: this is a technical profile used in solutions to group basic rights shared by all users of action plans.
Generally in HOPEX solutions, profiles authorized to create actions are those authorized to manage action plans (example: audit director, lead auditor). All users can execute actions.
