Roles

The module Review Manager distinguishes between the roles of Owner, Reviewer, Guest and Uploader.

Note

Additional functions are enabled by permission that are assigned to your user role. If you cannot access the functions described in this manual, your role probably does not have the appropriate permissions. If you have any questions, please contact your system administrator.

The user who started the review is automatically the owner of the review. Own reviews are listed on the Review Manager start page under Approvals I manage. Associated with this role is the creation of the briefing and the invitation of participants. In addition, the owner may request new versions.

The owner can also assign the owner role to other participants. This allows other participants to take over the owner's tasks temporarily or completely.

Reviewers are participants who are invited to the review by the owner as reviewers. Reviewers can comment on the asset and cast their vote on whether the asset is approved.

Guests are those participants who have been invited to the review by the owner as a guest. Guests can comment, but have no right to vote. That is, they can submit their opinions and wishes only in the form of a comment, but can neither accept nor reject like regular reviewers. Therefore, they do not appear in the voting overview.

When requesting a new version, the owner selects a user to deliver the revised asset as an uploader. The uploader can view the review, download the asset, and upload the revised asset.
