Granting application permission to managers

After creating an application permission, you may grant it to individuals for managing that application. In previous versions, managers were required to have access to the Management module. This is no longer necessary. Now you create and grant the permissions to the user/manager for viewing or updating an application.
This procedure is outlined in the following steps.
1. Navigate to the Permissions List page, and click Create Permission.
2. The Create Permissions page is displayed, where you can create the new permission.
3. Enter the new permission name and its description.
For example, if you wish to give a manager the ability to update a process template in the Management module, then you may enter "Update Process Template" in the Permission box and "For Managers in the Management module" in the Description box.
4. Select BP Server from the Component drop-down list; Process Template from the Resource Type drop-down list; and Update from the Action drop-down list.
Important: Although the user accesses the template in Management, the process template itself is in Business Process Server, which is why you must grant this as a Business Process Server permission, not a Management permission.
5. Click Save. Business Process Server creates the new permission after your confirmation.
You must next grant this new permission to the user/manager.
6. Click User Management > Users.
The User List page is displayed.
7. Click the User Name link of the user/manager to whom you want to assign the new permission, displaying the User Details page.
8. Click Permissions to go to the Permissions section. In this section, Business Process Server displays the permissions available for assignment to the selected user/manager.
9. Select the check box beside the permission name that you just created. Click Save.
Business Process Server grants the selected permission to the selected user/manager after your confirmation.
