Assigning resources to employees

Resources can be assigned to employees directly, indirectly, or through IT Shop requests. In the case of indirect assignment employees and resources are arranged in hierarchical roles. The number of resources assigned to an employee is calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. Add employees to a shop as customers so that resources can be assigned through IT Shop requests. All resources, which are assigned to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested resources are assigned to the employees after approval is granted.

Prerequisites for indirect assignment of resources to employees are:

  • Assignment of employees and resources is permitted for role classes (departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles).
