Change Management security areas

User Role: System Administrator

The security areas in Change Management are Changes, Change Tasks, and Change Management Configuration. These areas contain the default security rights and settings for Change Requests in the Change Management module. The security right settings will be inherited by the new roles created in an area when no settings are specified in the security role.

The change areas are used to set permissions to operators to provide access to particular area of Change Management. For example, for the Change Coordinator security role, set change area as Change Management Configuration and rights as View and Admin. Then, an operator with this security role can view and configure only the Change Management Configuration items under Change Management.

The following table lists the areas and the relevant Change Management menu items the operators can access.
