Add Account to Business Roles and Locations

To add account to Business Roles and Locations using the PBAC membership policy, we need to follow the below steps:

1. Add a PBAC attribute to an account – PBAC field type or an attribute is a connector used to connect an EmpowerID actor like a account to a PBAC membership policy target such as a business role and location.

2. Create a PBAC membership policy for a business role and location – It is required to create a PBAC membership policy so that we can use it for a target type ( e.g., a business role and location ).

3. Add the same PBAC attribute to the policy – PBAC field type or attribute should be added to a PBAC membership policy, for connecting it to an EmpowerID actor.

4. Wait for policy compilation and verify the result – Once the policy is compiled the person corresponding to the account will be added to the business role and location.

Add a PBAC Attribute to a PBAC Membership Policy

3. The attribute is now added to the PBAC membership policy type.
   
   

    

Verify the Result

1. After the PBAC membership policy is compiled, it will add the person corresponding to the account to the business role and location. This can be checked at the view-one page of the business role and location ( for which the policy was created). Select the All People in business role and location link. We can see that the person corresponding to the account ( to which the PBAC attribute was added) is now member of this business role and location.
