Chapter 11. Creating users

You can create as many Business Central users as you require. User privileges and settings are controlled by the roles assigned to a user and the groups that a user belongs to. For this example, you must create two new users: Katy who will act as the bank’s loan manager and approver, and Bill who will act as the broker requesting the loan. For more information on creating users, see the Creating users chapter of Installing and configuring Red Hat Process Automation Manager on Red Hat JBoss EAP 7.3.

In Business Central, you can use groups and roles to control permissions for a collection of users. You can create as many groups and roles as you want but a group must have at least one user.

  • For this example, the user or users working on the tasks must be assigned to one or more of the following groups and roles:

    • approver group: For the Qualify task
    • broker group: For the Correct Data and Increase Down Payment tasks
    • manager role: For the Final Approval task
