Adding people records
You can create two types of people records:
- Case user people records—Records about system users who have access to BMC HR Case Management data: HR agents, HR administrators, HR masters, and self-service users having access to solutions in BMC MyIT. These records are saved on BMC Remedy Action Request System Server, in the system forms: User form, and COL:CORE:People form.
- People records (non-case users)—Records about people (can be records about customers, VIP persons, and so on) who do not have access to the BMC HR Case Management system. These records are not saved on the BMC Remedy AR System forms.
This topic describes how to create people records and includes the following section:

Challenge Questions
Optional You can add challenge questions so that HR agents can verify the users for whom you add these details by phone. You can add as many challenge questions as you need.
The questions and their answers can be later used for verification of self-service users by phone. When an HR agent opens a case based on a phone request, he must verify that the person who is calling is the right person. An HR agent opens Challenge Questions tab, and asks questions that are available on this tab. If a person answers the questions correctly, he can be verified.
You can add multiple challenge questions, modify, or delete them when necessary.
