Access Control

The access control features allow only authorized users to edit the business rules. Other users may be authorized to approve or deploy rules.

Access control also provides a review workflow feature, which enforces the approval of a rule by someone other than the user who added or changed it. Changes to rulesets, including the addition, deletion, or reordering of rules, must also be approved. The version history provides a historical view of these changes to project items.

You can log in to Falcon Expert, and check out and edit items only if you are assigned the required roles and permissions. Roles include sets of permissions that are assigned to individual users or user groups based on the tasks they need to perform. When a user logs in to the application, the assigned roles control the functions the user can perform.

The roles and permissions for Falcon Expert users are set up by the system administrator in Case Manager. The table that follows describes the capabilities of the default roles established in the Case Manager.
