VMS ROLES

Configuration 2

Define VMS Roles

We can use this activity to define Roles in the VMS.

In VMS basic data,
We assign vehicle model to VMS roles (transaction VELORM).
Also assign organizational data to VMS roles (transaction VELORO) and
Define each configuration change profile and assign a role to it (transaction VELOP).
In the last step we assign roles to each user (transaction VELORU).

It is possible to assign one or more roles to vehicle models, but only one role can be assigned to organizational data, and only one to the configuration change profile.

Roles work in the following way:
In VMS, each user can only edit the vehicle model that is explicitly assigned to him (from a role that uses vehicle models).

The organizational data explicitly assigned to a user (from a role that uses organizational data) guarantees that the user is working for this concrete organization. Organizational data is still used on the action interface as default values.

The configuration change profile roles control which configurations a user is permitted to change (such as the sales order configuration or purchase order configuration). An importer for example, is permitted to change more configurations than a dealer.
