Edit Local Function Assignments

Local functions are system-specific, business unit-specific, or location-specific activities that define what users can do within EmpowerID. Assigning local functions to a Management Role grants all role members the ability to perform those specific tasks.

Prerequisites

Before modifying local function assignments, ensure you have:

• Access to Resource Admin with permissions to manage the target Management Role
• Understanding of the local functions you plan to assign and their system-specific capabilities

Procedure

1. Navigate to Resource Admin.

2. Select Management Roles from the resource type menu.
   

3. Click the Workflows tab.

4. Find and click Manage Management Role Wizard.
   

5. Select the Management Role you want to modify by checking the box next to it and click Next.
   

6. Select Edit Local Function Assignments from the available actions and click Next.
   

7. If the role has existing local function assignments, they appear in the grid showing function details:
   

   • Use the search functionality to find specific functions if needed
   • Click Unassign to remove a function assignment
   • Keep it as Assigned to retain it

   If the role has no existing local function assignments, skip to step 9.

8. Click Next to proceed to adding new assignments.

9. To add new local function assignments:
   

   • Use the search field to find specific local functions, or click the dropdown arrow for advanced search options
   • Use the location filter to narrow functions by specific locations if needed
   • Check the box next to each local function you want to assign
   • Review the function's risk level before assigning to ensure it's appropriate
   • Repeat to add multiple functions

   Skip this step if you only want to remove existing assignments.

10. Click Next to review the Operation Execution Summary.

11. Review the Operation Execution Summary to confirm your changes:
    
    The summary shows the specific local function assignments that were added or removed.

12. Click Submit.

13. Choose your next action:
    

    • Do you want to manage the same Management Role? - Perform additional actions on the same role
    • Do you want to manage different Management Role(s)? - Work with other Management Roles
    • Do you want to finish the workflow? - Exit the wizard

14. Click Submit to proceed with your selected option.

Verify the Results

Local function assignment changes may require approval depending on your organization's policies. To verify the changes:

1. After approval, navigate back to Resource Admin > Management Roles.
2. Search for and select the Management Role you modified.
3. Review the role's local function assignments to confirm additions or removals.
4. Verify that role members can perform newly assigned functions or no longer have access to removed functions.
