Create a responsibility

You can create a responsibility:

  • By assigning a resource role to a user or user group on the responsibilities page of a resource.
  • By adding a user in the table column of a role.
  • By editing an existing responsibility.

Important For optimal performance and ease of use, we recommend that you create responsibilities mainly on domains and communities and not directly on assets. Creating responsibilities directly on large amounts of assets may lead to decreased performance.

Assign a resource role to a user or user group on the responsibilities page

  1. Open a community, domain or asset page.
  2. In the tab pane, click Responsibilities.
    The Responsibilities page appears.
  3. Above the table, to the right, click Add.
    The Add responsibilitiy dialog box appears.
  4. Enter the required information.
    OptionDescription

    People Enter the users and user groups to which you want to assign a role for this resource.
  5. Click Add.
    The users or groups with the assigned role are now displayed in the Responsibilities table.

  • If you want to assign a user or user group a resource role that other users or groups already have for this resource, you can click and add them in the People field in the Assign role box.
  • If there are only inherited roles, is not available.

Assign a role to a user or user group for a resource from a table
