Org-units displayed in a participant
The list of org-units displayed in the header of the shape of a participant groups the org-units declared in the participant's properties.
• Org-units attached to the participant but with a responsibility in the process or operations executed by the participant. The name of the org-units is followed by a letter corresponding to their responsibility. These org-units are declared in the properties of the participant.
For more details on org-units connected to a participant, see Creating a Participant.Defining the RACI of an org-unit for an operation or a process
To indicate the responsibility of an org-unit in an operation, for example:
1. In the operation Characteristics property page, expand the Actors section.
2. Click the Connect button.
3. In the dialog box that opens, select Candidate Org-Units (RACI) and click the Find button .
A dialog box proposes the list of org-units that execute the operation or the process via a participant.
An org-unit can be connected directly to an operation or process or indirectly via a participant. An RACI candidate org-unit is an org-unit assigned to a participant.4. Select the org-units that interest you and click Relier.
The org-units appear in the properties dialog box of the operation or process.
5. For each of these, in the RACI drop-down list, select a responsibility level from the four proposed.
• Consulted (C)
• Responsible (R)
• Responsible/Accountable (R/A)
• Informed (I)
• Accountable (A)
The selected responsibility level appears with an icon corresponding to context:
Icon | Meaning |

To indicate responsibility of each of the org-units attached to a participant in the different operations or organizational processes it executes:
