Permissions Options

Permissions Options

Set the Permissions options to specify the data that users can view and the types of action that users can perform in the Analyst tool. The permissions apply to all users who can view or edit a task instance that the current step defines.
You can set viewing permissions and editing permissions. The viewing permissions define the task instance data that the Analyst tool displays. The editing permissions define the actions that users can take to update record data or cluster data. The permissions that you set do not affect the users' ability to view or update status information for a record, cluster, or task instance.
Exception steps and cluster steps support different types of permissions. The permissions that you set in a review step depend on whether the preceding step is an exception data step or a cluster step.
Consider the following rules and guidelines when you set permissions on a step:
  • The viewing permissions take precedence over the editing permissions. If a user cannot view a column of data in a task instance, the user cannot edit the data in the column.
  • If a user cannot view a data column in a task instance, the user cannot view the column in the audit trail.
  • The step that you configure might read the output from another step in the Human task. Set permissions that allow Analyst tool users to view and edit the appropriate data from the task instances that the preceding step generates.

The following table describes the viewing permissions that you can set in each step:
