  • Manager

Prerequisites

Person relationships are objects secured by EmpowerID workflows and operations. To manage Person relationships, you need the following delegations:

  • Initiator Access Level for the AddPersonRelationships workflow to request that a new Person relationship be created

  • Initiator Access Level for the RemovePersonRelationships workflow to request that a Person relationship be removed

  • Access Level assignment with the Add Relationships operation allowed for each Person object to add a new relationship without requiring approval

  • Access Level assignment with the Remove Relationships operation allowed for each Person object to remove an existing relationship without requiring approval
