How to Authorize Users Sharing a Group

Allow Users Sharing a Group grants the authority to any CA‑PanAPT user who shares a group with the owner of the Move Request or Inventory Record, or with the user ID being acted upon.

If used, it indicates that Allow Users Sharing a Group authority has been given to this activity and it means that any other CA‑PanAPT user who shares any group with the owner can perform this function. If the user ID being given authority is also the owner, the user cannot perform this function. So, if Sharing a Group is set to Y, but Owner is set to N, the owner cannot perform the activity.

Note: If the owner of an Inventory Record is a group, and users sharing a group? is set to Y for a certain activity, for any member of the group to perform the activity, the group must be defined to CA‑PanAPT as a user ID, and the group must be listed on its own user ID record.
