Stakeholders and Informees

There are different types of stakeholders in the system:

This is the role that owns the attachment, policy, process or value stream. Only one role can be the owner. If there are multiple users assigned to the role selected as owner, all users will be assigned as the owner. These users can be added or removed in the administrator settings.

Only roles and responsibilities can be selected as an owner. Unassigned and All Staff are exempt from the list too.

There can be multiple experts assigned to a policy, process or value stream. The roles assigned as experts can have many users associated to them. Users can be added or removed from roles in the same way as the owners. Process experts cannot be changed in bulk.

The author is the specific user that created the attachment, policy, process or value stream. Only one user is assigned and is not linked to the roles. This ensures there is clarity as to who exactly created the item. The responsibility of the author is to create and edit attachments, policies, processes and value streams even though they are not the owner or an expert.

Informees are different. While the information is found in the same area as the other stakeholders, they are for notification purposes only. Informees are added to policies, processes and value streams to ensure that the correct users are notified about changes that they need to be aware of. Informees do not have any other permissions, like editing.
