Roles are supported throughout the Global AlertLink system, including:
- Sending a message: When sending a message, you may elect to send the message to a contact(s), role(s), or folder(s). Sending a message to a role automatically includes everyone in the role at the time the message is sent.
- Ownership: To indicate that multiple people own a particular item, you may specify the owner as a role. This allows all members of the role to own the item.
- Reviews: When creating a review, for an item that is owned by a role, all members of the role will be notified during the review cycle.
- Action Steps Assignments: Assigning an action step to a role automatically assigns the action step to all members of the role. Action steps that are assigned to a role will appear in the My Task list for all members of the role. Additionally, notifications of action step assignments will be sent to all members if enabled.
- Permissions: When granting permission, you may choose a user or a role. Granting permissions to a role allows the permissions to automatically be assigned to everyone in the role.
