Create and Modify Security Role Templates in HRS

Overview:

This document will walk through the process to create and modify security role templates that are used in conjunction with security role provisioning in HRS.

Process Considerations:

  • A template is a collection of commonly assigned security roles. Once a template has been assigned, security roles can be added and removed to the individual.
  • Role Templates are visible only to security role requester at the creator's primary job institution (ie role template created by a UW-Madison employee is only visible to UW-Madison requesters)
  • Recommend limiting the number of people with security to update tempates to reduce confusion in template creation and updates.
  • Required Security: UW_UNV_CT_PROV_ROLE_TMPLT (UW Prov Campus Template Create)
