Using roles of employees to be attested to find attestors

Installed modules:

Business Roles Module (for approval procedure AO).

If you want to attest company resource assignments to employees or their requests, use the AD, AL, AO, or AP approval procedures. The attestors found are members of the Attestor application role.

Attestation objects are employees (Person table) or request recipients (PersonWantsOrg table). These approval procedures determine the role (department, location, business role, cost center) for each attestation object to which the attestation object is primarily assigned. If the primarily assigned role is not directly assigned an attestor, the approval procedure finds the attestator's parents roles. If still no attestor can be determined, the attestation case is presented to the attestor of the associated role class for approval.

NOTE: When attestors are found using the AO approval procedure and when "bottom-up" inheritance is defined for business roles, note the following:

  • If there is no attestor given for the primary business role, attestors are taken from the child business role.

Using attestation objects to find attestors

Use the AR, AY, or AT approval procedures if you want to attest the validity of compliance rules, rule violations, company policies, policy violations, or of departments, locations, cost centers, or business roles. The AT procedure is also suitable for attesting assignments to IT Shop structures (shops, shopping centers, or shelves). Use the AA or AN approval procedures to attest system entitlement or system role assignments to departments, locations, cost centers, business roles or IT Shop structures. The attestors found are members of the Attestor application role.

These approval procedures determine the attestors to which the attestation object is assigned. The AA approval procedure finds the attestor using the role (departments, locations, business roles, cost centers) or IT Shop structures (IT Shop templates). The AN approval procedure finds the attestor using the service item assigned to the system entitlement or target system group.

Furthermore, the following also applies to the AT and AA approval procedures: If an attestor is not directly assigned to the attestation object, the approval procedure finds the attestor of the parent roles/IT Shop structures. If still no attestor can be determined, the attestation case is presented to the attestor of the associated role class for approval.

NOTE: If the attestation base object is a business role or a business role assignment and bottom-up inheritance is defined for the associated role classes, the following applies:

  • If there is no attestor assigned to the attestation object, the approval procedure finds attestors from the attestors of subordinate roles.

These approval procedures find the manager associated with every attestation object. In the RE approval procedure, the system role manager is determined as attestor; in the RM and RR approval procedures, the role/IT Shop structure manager is determined. The approval procedures CM, DM, LM, MO, and PM find the department manager and deputy manager of the role in which the attesting employee is a member.

Using persons responsible for attestation objects to find attestors

If you want to attest system entitlements and the user accounts assigned to them, use the ED, EM, EN, EO, or SO approval policies. Use the approval procedures AM, MD, or SO to attest user accounts.

Attestation objects are user accounts or system entitlements and the user accounts assigned to them as well as system roles that have system entitlements or system roles assigned to them. The approval procedures determine the following attestors.
