Assigning Objects to Persons
A business role can be assigned to a person:
• for a specific object

*See "Assigning an Object to a Person" step 5.
• to a given geographical location
E.g.: David Oldfield is Risk Manager at London Branch.
*See "Assigning an Object to a Person" step 6.
• to a given geographical location for a specific object
E.g.: Tom Woods is Process Manager for the Purchasing business process at Boston branch.

So that the person can play these business roles, you must assign him/her the necessary rights on tools and data.
