Business Role and Technical Role

[ShanelleBlake]

Hi,

What is in IGL the difference between Business Role and Technical Role?

If I collect app-roles from an endpoint, is it a business role? Technical Role?

In terms of functionality, they are the same or being business role has less functionality of a technical role?

Thanks

Hi Shanelle,

If you collect app-roles from an endpoint using an EDC it will be an Application Role, not a Business or Technical Role.

From a BRM perspective, this is an extract from the help section roles:

• Business Roles — Includes users and typically includes technical roles as entitlements via a hierarchical parent role relationship with technical roles.

• Technical Roles — Includes entitlements and are typically child roles to business roles.

• Global Roles — Includes both users and entitlements.

Broadly there is no real difference in how the managed role types behave in BRM though.
