Clarity

We have added a custom attribute name Functional Manger in Clarity for a Resource. So now what we need is as the Resource Manager gets the notification for timesheet approval and has rights for resource  forecasting by default the similar way the Functional Manager should also have both these features enabled.  So, e.g. M1 is set as Resource Manager for resource A1 and M2 is set as Functional Manager. Since Resource Manager is internally the ManagerM1  will automatically get the timesheet approval right for resource A1 but manger M2 (who is the Functional Manager) won’t since Functional Manager is our custom attributes. So, we need to make sure that manger M2 is also granted timesheet approval and resource forecasting rights for resource A and all the resources under him..

Hi Heeral,

Unfortunately, the changes you want to make are on the Resource object.  So we can't use an auto-start process to xog in these rights every time your Functional Manager attribute is changed.

However, there is another approach you can use.  You will need to create a gel script process that determines which Functional managers have been changed or added since the last time you ran this job.  Then you could use the gel script to create a Resource Write xog file to xog these rights for that user into the new Functional Manager resource.

That process could then be run via the Execute a Process job to run on a scheduled basis.

This would take some know-how with gel scripts.  But, if you don't have the in-house people who are capable of creating this type of process, you could engage CA Services or a partner to create this for you.

This is just a general approach that would accomplish what you want.

Hello Heeral,

You can manually provide Resource Enter Time/Approve Time access rights to the Functional Managers, if that is not a restriction in your Project. If this looks very tedious to be done, you can automate a process having a custom script to do this as Jeanne said above and schedule it to run once or twice daily, etc.
