Role Updates are made by adding or removing Permission Lists (as traditionally done in PeopleSoft). The right side displays the Navigation Menu as it appears in PeopleSoft along with the corresponding access level: 'Display' (D), 'Update' (U), or 'Correction' (C).

How to Update a Role [Traditional]

  1. Navigate to Environments and select an Environment.

  2. Select 'Roles.'

  3. Search and select a Role.

  4. The current permissions will be shown. Click 'Edit' to make changes.

  5. On the left side, search and select Permission Lists by name.

  6. Click 'Save' to commit the changes to PeopleSoft.

How to Update a Role [via Direct Access]

  1. Navigate to Environments and select an Environment.

  2. Select 'Roles.'

  3. Search and select a Role.

  4. The current permissions will be shown. Click 'Edit' to make changes.

  5. On the right side, navigate down to the Page/Tab level, and use the radio buttons to select the level of access: Display (D), Update (U), or Correction (C)

  6. Click 'Save' to commit the changes to PeopleSoft.

*Direct Access must be enabled under

In a Role, the Permission Lists tab displays a list of Permission Lists assigned to the Role.

From this view, you can click 'Edit' to navigate to the access page and make role updates.

The Components List is based on the Pages assigned to the Role. Component Access is displayed with the corresponding access level: 'Display' (D), 'Update' (U), or 'Correction' (C)

If a Component is directly assigned, a Sentinel Permission List (SNT_###) will be assigned to the Role with access to that Component.

Search for a Component using the PeopleTools object names. The CTRL-J function on the page will display the following attributes.

  • Menuname (MENUITEM)

  • Component (PNLGRPNAME)

  • Page (PNLNAME)

Check the 'Fluid' box to display fluid-only components.

Access to Non-Page Objects, including the underlying Permission Lists that provide access, are displayed under the following submenus:

  • Web Libraries

  • Web Services

  • Process Groups

  • Component Interfaces

If an Object is directly assigned, it will display as SNT_### Permission List or Role.
