Assigning a Profile to a Person
*A person may have several profiles.
*A user must have at least one profile assigned to be able to connect to HOPEX.
Assigning a profile to a person defines:
• the profile assigned
• the repository concerned by the assignment
• (optional) the validity period of the assignment
• (optional, with read-only access to the repository) the connection repository snapshot
Repository Snapshot:
*A repository snapshot defines repository state at a given moment.
The connection repository snapshot defines the state of the repository to which the users of a profile connect.
To define a repository snapshot, a repository snapshot must have been previously created.
Restrictions:
• The Administrator profile attribute of a profile allows to assign an administrator type profile.
Only administration dedicated profiles (HOPEX Administrator, HOPEX Administrator - SaaS) allow to assign any profile (including administration dedicated profiles) to persons.
• A functional administrator of a Solution, can only assign profiles related to this Solution.
E.g.: the GRC Functional Administrator profile allows to assign the GRC specific profiles(e.g.: Audit Director, GRC Contributor) except GRC Functional Administrator profile.
