View the applications list¶
The Applications list allows you to see a list of all the applications that have been added to Permission Assist along with its priority level and the date of the most recent update to privilege information. You can view the applications list if you belong to one of the following Permission Assist roles:
Administrators
Anyone who has been assigned to the Administrators group within the System Configuration area is a Permission Assist Administrator. For more information about Security Team members and what they can do, refer to the Administrator's Guide.
Security Team
Anyone who has been assigned to the Security Team group within the System Configuration area is a Security Team member. For more information about Security Team members and what they can do, refer to the Security Team's Guide.
Application Managers
An Application Manager is the "owner" of an application or someone who is responsible for the administration functions and maintenance of that application. Within Permission Assist, Application Managers may be assigned to applications within the Responsibilities tab (Manage > Applications > select the application > Responsibilities tab).
To view the Applications list, go to the Manage menu on the main screen and select Applications.
