Example: Assign a delegation
In this example you will delegate the responsibilities of the Manager of IT to another IT team member. This will allow the team member to approve or deny requests on the manager’s behalf while she is on leave.
This example assumes that:
Bravura Workforce Pattern and Connector Pack are installed.
There is an Active Directory target system set up as a source of profiles.
The Active Directory target is configured to create the OrgChart based on the manager attribute.
User Adam is the manager of the IT-DB-READWRITE group.
