If you have access to roles management, then you can manage a user's roles in three ways:

  1. From inside the process map

  2. From 'Roles'

  3. From 'Users'

What happens when a user has a role?

Once you have added a role to a user they will automatically see:

  • Comments made to any activity that his role is responsible for.

  • Tasks in the activity's task calendar.

  • Tasks that are due.

  • Hourly, daily or weekly emails with a summary of comments to activities that the role is responsible for.

Adding/removing users from the 'Roles' page

Go to the 'Roles' page, click edit, search for the right user and add him or her to the role:
