Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are provided for assigning task-oriented roles to persons in an organization. In accordance with one aspect, such methods and systems may perform a process including providing a set of tasks that can be performed in an organization and defining a set of roles for persons in the organization. The set of roles may be defined by assigning one or more tasks from the set of tasks to each role. Further, the process may include performing a role assignment process including assigning, by one or more business users, persons to the defined set of roles, wherein assigning comprises providing a user name for each assigned person. The role assignment process may also include creating, by an administrative power user, a user ID for each user name that does not have an associated user ID. In one aspect, the role assignment process is performed in a cascaded manner along hierarchical levels of the organization until roles at a lowest level of the organization are assigned to one or more persons. Further, the role assignment process allows business users to continue to assign the defined set of roles in the cascaded manner by only providing user names.
