Assigning People to Business Roles and Locations
In EmpowerID, a Business Role is a user-defined hierarchical container for grouping people based on a person's job function within an organization, such as "Sales Representative" or "Contractor," while a Location usually represents the place within the organization where the person is situated, such as "London" or "Dublin." Assigning users to Business Roles and Locations gives you an easy way to delegate resources based on what those users do and from where they do it.
