Roles in BMC Helix Business Workflows
To eliminate the need to assign individual functional area permissions (roles) to users, BMC Helix Business Workflows provides functional roles. Functional roles are a combination of the roles providing users with permissions for performing actions across the functional areas. Assigning functional roles ensures that only the authorized users can perform actions in the product.
For example, an organization might require an agent to only review, update, and approve knowledge articles that are added to a knowledge base. In this case, the administrator assigns the agent the Knowledge Coach IS persona only, that provides them with the access to manage knowledge articles but restricts their access to cases.
Primary roles in BMC Helix Business Workflows
BMC Helix Business Workflows has the following primary roles:
- Case business analyst: Configures line of business, configures and manages templates, assignments, notifications.
- Case manager: Manages a team of case agents and views reports.
- Case agent: Creates cases, reviews open cases, responds to cases, and creates and maintains knowledge articles.
The following figure lists the major tasks and key responsibilities of each functional role:

Assigning permissions and a functional role to manage the Catalog
A Case Catalog Administrator creates and maintains services in BMC Helix Digital Workplace Catalog. The Case Catalog Administrator provides services to users and reviews the status of requests.
Usually, only a case catalog administrator can access BMC Helix Digital Workplace Catalog to create services. However, a company might want to give other agents (case agents, case managers, or case business analysts) access to BMC Helix Digital Workplace Catalog so they can create and publish services in it.
For information about BMC Helix Digital Workplace Catalog, see Catalog.
