Propagating Roles and Permissions to All Branded Owners

Summary

This article outlines how to create an action that will propagate roles and permissions from the top owner to all branded owners when creating or updating.

  • It requires that the contact type and status types already exist across all branded owners otherwise it will fail and add an event log entry

  • It will add or update existing roles when the top owner role is created or saved

  • It will NOT propagate role profile questions or saved list views

  • This assumes that the event manager is running which is the service that processes these events when creating /updating occurs

Note: as of EngageIP 8.6.0 options exist to propagate and update branded owner data to other branded owners. See the Configuring Branded and Unbranded Owners article for details.

Configuration

  1. Click on Setup

  2. Click Actions

  3. Click Add to add a new action

  4. In the Name section enter 'Propagate Roles and Permissions to all branded owners'

  5. In Event Code enter: 'Role.Update,Role.Create'

  6. In the Script text box enter the code shown below
    Note: make sure to replace "Logisense Corporation" with YOUR owner name otherwise the action will not work
