Sourcing Security - Adding Collaborator (Object Level) Role to a User

[Former Member]

Hello,

Can you please advice how to add a collaborator role to a user without using a document security or a document template? I have a scenario that requires a Project to be approved by a user before the Project can be published. Currently the system allows any user with the Project Manager class level role to be added as an Approver via a Project Template. We need to restrict that so only if a user has a 'Document Approver' role, can the user be added as an approver and/or approve the Project. Also, under security and profiles tab of user administration only class level roles show up. Is there a way how collaborator(object level role) assignment be maintained directly to a user.

Thanks!

Hi

It is not possible to have object level profiles assigned to a user account security profile.

What you are looking for can be achieved using scripting. For e.g. you can create an extension field having value "Project Approver" in user account.Then you can right a validation script for master agreement to varify whether the collaborator added as approver to the project has "Project Approver" value set or not. Based on that you can throw exception.

This is just one of the possible approach that was on top of my mind. there could be other approaches as well
