CA Service Management

We would like to be able to allow some users to update Department records but we don't want to give them access to everything in the "Inventory" Function Group. In WSP we do seem to be able to change the Function Group of the Dept object but we haven't tried it yet. If we did alter it to "Location" would the system then allow users with "Location" Modify access to also update Departments?

We are using r12.6 (which we know is no longer supported).

Has anyone had experience with changing Function Groups before?

Thanks,

Alan

Hi Alan,

I've done this for a few objects and it works fine. We have a specific role setup that allows analysts to manage objects with custom functional access.

Once you create a new functional access in the UI you can use WSP to change the object to use it.

Also worth mentioning CA doesn't support messing with functional access, even though you can do it in WSP.

Thanks, Grant.

If we did create new Function Groups, how do we refer to them in the menubar_....htmpl files? All the existing access is referenced with attributes off the $ACCESS object, like " if ( $ACCESS.FAC_loc > 0 )  " for Location.

I was wrong about that, you won’t need to modify the menubar.
