In Applications 10, we use the Solution Manager to create users
(Solution Manager/Security/Users/Create User)
This offers a nice and neat option with all types accesses visible in one page (Permission sets, companies and sites, business roles for all our modules, e.g. Buyer setup, posting authorization etc.). The Summary tab is an excellent place to verify the result of the user setup. It is easy to verify and amend access, e.g. adding a site and purchase authorization basic data for that user and the new site. If applicable, I can duplicate the setup of a user as the basis for new user and then quickly fix
In Cloud, the user creation is just quite painful.
(Solution Manager/Users/User)
You can only do a very small portion in the User creation page, and it only contains company - not the sites. It seems you have to go module by module to add basic data (much like it was back in IFS Applications 98!). You lack the overview, seems you may have to build a quick report to extract the data into one place. The duplicate option in Cloud only copies the header information, not the sub tabs, so not much use unfortunately.
Why is IFS removing efficient user creation features when moving to Cloud from IEE? I fear the user admin time will be much higher after the upgrade to Cloud.
I hope there is a alternative, proposed workflow in Cloud or similar that will fulfill the same requirements as for Apps 10, i.e. “efficient user creation for multiple companies, sites and business roles” - hence, I am reaching out to this forum.
