Functions are the building blocks of risks. They define a collection of one or more tasks that an employee needs to complete to perform a specific goal.
These tasks are called Actions.
Functions have the following attributes:
Attribute |
Description |
---|---|
Function ID |
The identification code for the function. |
Description |
A short, plain text description of the function that identifies the nature of the function to users. |
Business Process |
(Optional) A flag that defines to which business process this function belongs. It is used solely for categorization purposes. |
Scope of Analysis |
A parameter that determines if the function applies only to a single system (for example, SAP), or to multiple systems. |
When you define a function in the Rule Architect, you associate one or more actions to the function. Each of these actions has an associated permission (security object) that defines the scope of access for the action.
