Assigning Account Permissions for Distributed Forecasting
Use this information as an Administrator to decide what user roles and permissions are necessary to perform all the tasks associated with the distributed forecasting process.
To watch a training video that explains
this process, enroll in the FPS Distributed Forecasting - Assigning Account Permissions
training video course on Jack Henry University. You can also enroll in the Distributed
Forecasting in Financial Performance Suite learning plan.
When setting up the application for distributed forecasting, you can set up specific account permissions for the branch manager, standard user role, and for custom and nonstandard user roles. The account permissions for the user roles can be applied to certain balance sheet, income statement, and supplemental data accounts for budget forecasting purposes. An administrator completes the following steps for a new user role or to modify an existing role.
Tip: For consistency and to make
your on-going maintenance of users easier, you can create nonstandard user roles for groups
of users who require the same sets of customized permissions. After they are added, you can
associate active, nonstandard user roles with both new and existing users. If a role's
permissions are changed, then the permissions for all the users assigned to that role update
automatically.
