Positions

A position is the employee’s primary job title within an organization, such as a QA Manager, Product Manager, or Process Engineer. The following rules apply when determining positions:

A person can only have one position assigned within each organization.
Position roles can be attached to positions that contain the document and course requirements needed as a minimum for any employees who are assigned the position.
To expedite creating positions, copy positions with similar roles within your organization.
Positions cannot be applied to Person records until they have been activated.
Positions can be expired in the application if they will no longer be applied to Person records.
Positions and their requirements are typically owned by the business unit line manager, however, they are maintained in the system by the training coordinators (QA Group).

User Rights

The following rights must be assigned to a user for that user to manage or view positions:

Rights	Description
PST_VIEW	Allows the user to view positions.
PST_MANAGE	Allows the administrator to add, view, edit, and delete a Position record.

NOTE: See Rights Groups for more information on assigning rights groups to users.

Global vs. Local

Global positions and any Global roles attached to those positions will be inherited by all Local organizations using the position for Local Person records.
Local positions can only be viewed and used within the unique Local organization and cannot be used by other Local organizations.
