User Responsibility Updates

Use

You can change the responsible owner of objects.

Prerequisites

You are running the administration application as the strategy management administrator. If Administration is unavailable to you, it means you are not running the Administrator application with the correct permissions.
To be prompted for comments that are posted to the audit log, the system administrator has set the AuditLogComments Java System Property to Yes in the strategy management application in SAP NetWeaver. For more information, see the Installation Guide for SAP Strategy Management on the SAP Help Portal. Then choose Configuring the Application Properties.

Features

You can do the following:

Review all the objects for which a user is responsible.
Select a new owner for certain objects on a permanent basis.
Filter the list of objects.

Note Entry and Approval workflow steps are defined for an Application Server model rather than the context. If you filter on Entry and Approval Workflow Steps for a particular owner, you see all the workflow steps from the model regardless of which context is selected. The Context dropdown list is not relevant when viewing workflow steps of a particular owner.
Remove owned items from a new owner and return the objects to the original owner.
Select a new owner for certain objects on a temporary basis.

You can temporarily change ownership of an Entry and Approval Workflow step or an initiative.

You can set the start and end date for the temporary assignment. After the end date, the original owner is automatically reassigned to the selected items.

Users who have been assigned as temporary owners of certain objects have an asterisk (*) next to their name. The asterisk identifies that this owner is temporarily assigned.

Temporary reassignments take effect when the corresponding Scheduler job is run with a Reassign Owner scheduled task. This should be defined to run on a daily basis in order to maintain the temporary assignments. For more information, see Scheduler.
Review temporary assignments.
Change from one temporary owner to another, or change the start and end date of the temporary ownership.
Revert a temporary ownership back to the permanent owner.
Delete a temporary ownership.
