Roles

This section describes:

  • Roles that have special usage in PeopleSoft Interaction Hub.

  • Roles associated with major PeopleSoft Interaction Hub areas.

  • Viewer roles.

  • All delivered roles.

The following table lists roles that have special meaning and usage in PeopleSoft Interaction Hub.

Note: In PeopleSoft Interaction Hub 9, the base object permission lists have been streamlined to include only those components that all users need and are cannot access directly from the left navigation. Additional permission lists have been created for some components and added to the PAPP_USER role. The components My Discussion Forums, My Alerts, and Browse by Category were removed from the PAPP000n permission list. This enables you to disable a given feature by removing the feature's base permission list from the PAPP_USER role.
