What Is It?​

The last step is to assign which OpCon role(s) can see and run the Service Request buttons from the Service Request page.

  • Users in the ocadm role have access to all Service Requests; ocadm does not appear in the Granted list
  • Non-ocadm users must grant at least one role access to the Service Request
  • You can only view and grant access to your own roles
  • If a role that does not belong to you is assigned to one of your Service Requests, it displays as "Unauthorized Role."

Select Save to save the changes to the database and return to the main Self Service page. The newly-created Service Request button now displays.
