Setting up functional roles, permissions, and assignments for users
As an administrator, after you create Foundation data, you must assign user functional roles, line of business functional roles, bundle access, and permissions so that only authorized users can perform actions in the product.
You can define the assignment availability of case agents and enable agents to take up assignments. You can set up user roles, permissions, and assignments in bulk by using the Data Management Console. Alternatively, you can set up individual user roles, permissions, and assignments by using BMC Helix Innovation Studio.
