  2. Creating a Group
    A group represents a type of job within your enterprise, grouped by the characteristics of the job. Groups can have Capabilities and Privileges that help to allocate work to a group of people with a specific set of skills.
  3. Saving the Organization Model
    Save the organization model.
  4. Creating Capabilities
    Capabilities represent the skills that are available within your enterprise. They can be assigned to Groups or Positions, representing the skills needed to carry out the responsibilities of that Group or Position.
  5. Assigning Capabilities
    Once you have created a Capability, you can assign it to Positions and to Groups.
  6. Creating Privileges
    Privileges represent the authority that an Organization Unit, Position or Group can have within an organization, such as the authority to approve expenditure.You can add extra information about when a Privilege applies by assigning a Qualifier.
  7. Assigning Privileges
    You can add extra information about a Privilege by assigning a Qualifier. For example, you may have created a Privilege giving the authority to authorize expenditure, but you can use a Qualifier to specify what amount a given Position can authorize.
  8. Updating the Version
    You will now update the version of the organization model.
  9. Deploying the Organization Model
