Enhance Application Process Required Role

Currently application processes can be configured so that a required role is needed to run the process. Unfortunately this is limited to a single role. We currently have a range of platform roles for seniority in platform teams that work across multiple applications, we want to be able to restrict specific processes to the group of platform roles only.

The aim is to have this as a mutli select option for roles, this is to enable multiple roles to be isolated to running the process and also removing visibility of the process to all other roles.

    Thank you for this idea. We can implement this if you can confirm the priority of this update. We would like to confirm the priority with you on our next collaborative call and then we review next steps. Please share as well here if you can.

    We also need this feature so that we can manage the access effectively. 

    We want to add multiple roles in Applications > Application_Name > Processes > Process: Application_Process > configuration > Required Role and currently we can add one role in "Required Role" instead we want to be able to select multiple roles.

    We had raised a case TS016602110 for the same.

    This RFE can be implemented to allow/accept multiple roles, however, Dev team thinks its an expensive change. It would require changes in multiple places and has import/export considerations.

    Can you please clarify the priority of this RFE? I will check with our team to see if we have a meeting scheduled to discuss this with you as well.

    We have some follow-up questions around this enhancement that we would like your input on.

    1) Does requiring multiple roles work as an 'and' or an 'or'? We assumed 'or' but are not sure. (It is an 'or' for this use case)

    2) We do not think we should do anything around removing visibility, we do not currently have permissions on application processes to control their visibility independent from the application. Is this ok with you? (we would like you to test this - if someone is in role a and someone in role a and b. if process is set to role b only, the second user will be only one to see the process we believe). use of checkboxes to select multiple roles would be nice.

    Please provide your response to the questions above and we can continue to progress this enhancement.

    Thank you for this idea. We are creating an internal discussion topic to review this with our development team. We will review this once more on an upcoming meeting with you as well.
