2.0 Understanding Authorizations in Workflow Service

Workflow Service relies on predefined authorizations (set of permissions) to provide access to users or groups. The authorizations for administrators are assigned in the application that integrates with Workflow Service. For example, users or groups with Identity Governance Global, Customer, or Access Request authorization will be the Workflow Administrator when Workflow Service is integrated with Identity Governance. For more information about Identity Governance authorizations, see Identity Governance User and Administration Guide.

You must be assigned one of the following authorizations to perform operations on the Workflow Administration Console:

* A customer administrator oversees the configuration of a single tenant, such as assigning authorizations or roles to specific users within that company. ** A SaaS operations administrator is a member of the Micro Focus SaaS team who is responsible for customer tenancy operations.

IMPORTANT:The above authorizations and their associated permissions cannot be modified in the Workflow Administration Console. You can, however, assign users or groups as trustees and enable them to perform operations such as editing workflows. For more information about trustees, see Manage User Access.
