This function is object managed. The creation, modification, and cancellation operations can be activated or de-activated for a given user. Filters by rolescan also be associated to this function.

Users

All employees that are permitted to be involved in your Change Control Management (CCM) process must have an active Sage X3 user record – the check box X3 connection on their User record (Users (GESAUS)) must be selected as this provides connection rights to Sage X3.

Visibility of and access to change requests is controlled using the standard Sage X3 user profile and access functionality:

• Access to a change request is controlled through the user’s profile. Their profile is defined on the General section of their user record and controlled through the permissions defined for their profile code (Function profile (GESAFT)).
   For unrestricted visibility and access to change requests, users assigned to the following CCM roles should have administrator rights:

• Change manager
• Planner(Project manager)
• Approvers
• Actioners
• Access to specific roles in your Change Control Management process is controlled through parameters. Roles are assigned and approved in the Parameterssection of the user record (TC chapter, CCM group).
• For users that do not have administrator rights, access to selected fields on a change request is controlled through the user’s access codes. These are specified in the Accesssection of their user record.
• The user’s functional profile also controls their site access and therefore the individual change requests visible to them.
  You must ensure your users have site access for Change control management, if you restrict your users’ access to Sage X3 by site. Site authorization is defined using the Functional authorisation (GESAFP) function for the function code GESCCM(Change request).
  With site authorization set up, visibility of and access to individual change requests will be determined by the Site field on the change request, as follows:
• If the Sitefield contains a value - the users assigned to the CCM roles above must have a profile code which has approval for the defined site.
• If the Sitefield is blank, that is, the change request is valid for multiple sites - the users assigned to the CCM roles above will have unrestricted visibility and access to the change request. The users assigned to the following CCM roles must, however, have a profile code which has approval for the transaction site:
• Approvers – site authorization will be required for each transaction type to which an approver user will be assigned.
• Actioners – site authorization will be required for each transaction site to which an actioner user will be assigned.
• The user’s menu profile must provide access to the Change control functions appropriate to their role in your CCM process.
