4 Roles, groups, and scope

MyID uses roles, groups and scope to define access to workflows and to records.

• Roles are based on the tasks that people do as part of their jobs. Each role gives the person allocated that role access to a defined list of workflows within MyID.
• Scope determines which groups relative to their own group someone can work with for each of their roles. See section section 4.5, Scope and security for more information.
• Groups provide the structure to contain the people. See section section 4.6, Groups for more information.

For information on assigning roles and the scope of those roles to people, see the Adding people section in the Operator's Guide.
