How to Authorize an Owner

The owner for a Move Request, Inventory, or User ID maintenance functions assigns the authority for a function to the owner. In this way, users can be given functional authority against a limited subset of Move Requests, Inventory Records, or User IDs.

The user who adds a Move Request is the owner of that Move Request. That user is then given authority to perform functions allowed to Move Request owners against his or her own Move Requests.

Inventory Records can have two possible owners. For Inventory maintenance actions (Add, Change, Delete, Inquire and Approve) the owner is the permanent owner of the Inventory Record — that is, the user ID shown in the Owner field of the Inventory Record. If the Owner field is blank, the assigned-to user ID is used.

For Inventory Assignment actions (Assign, Retrieve, Transfer and Release) the owner is the user ID to whom the Inventory Record is assigned. If the assigned-to user is blank, the user ID of the permanent owner is used.

The owner of a user ID Record is the user ID itself.
