14.3 Exploring the Tab’s Features

This section describes the default features of the Roles tab. (Your tab might look different because of customizations made for your organization; consult your system administrator or workflow designer.)

The left side of the Roles tab displays a menu of actions you can perform. The actions are listed by category (My Roles, Role Assignments, Role Management, and Role Reporting):

The Role Management actions are only displayed if you are a Role Module Administrator or Role Manager. The Manage Separation of Duties action within Role Management is only displayed if you are a Role Module Administrator or Security Officer. The Role Reporting actions are only displayed if you are a Role Module Administrator or Role Auditor.

When you click an action, it displays a corresponding page on the right. The page typically contains a window that shows the details for that action. For example, it might display a list or a form where you can enter data or make a selection, as shown below:
