Manager	Analysts with this role can act as the request manager for a particular request. They can take over any request that has been forwarded to them or any group to which they belong. When an Analyst with manager permissions logs a request, they are set as the request manager. If not, and the template is pre-authorized, the request manager will be the authorizer. If the template is not pre-authorized, the template creator will be set as the request manager.
Request Take Over	Analysts with this role can take over a request currently belonging to another Analyst or group, be delegated another Analyst’s requests and forward them on to other Analysts. It enables the Requests for Analyst field on the Requests Outstanding window. It also selects the Take Over Requests checkbox in the Delegation Setup and the Delegation functionality accessed through the Person Details. Manager must be selected to enable this option.
Activation Rights	Analysts with this role can activate or de-activate tasks on a Request Dependency Diagram. Manager must be selected to enable this option.
Acknowledge Event	Analysts with this role can acknowledge a request logged as a result of an incoming event. This option is enabled if you have configured event management.

Select to enable the checkbox in the Exclude column in the Service Level Management window. SLM Reporting Exclusions must be selected in the Service Level Management Settings and Manager must be selected in this role to enable this option.

View Orgs Requests	Analysts with this role can view their own requests and any that are logged under their organization regardless of the partition. They cannot view all requests in the system. Search for and open the Request View History of the Request View Objects on the Request
Request Group Review Default	Analysts with this role can double-click on a request that has been forwarded to their group (not only to the Analyst) to open it in review mode. Deselect to open the request in action mode when it is double-clicked, making the Analyst the owner of the request straight away. Manager must be selected to enable this option.
Request Forward Review Default	Analysts with this role can double-click on a request that has been forwarded to them (but not their group) to open it in review mode. If this option is cleared, the request will open in action mode, that is, the Analyst will take ownership of the request. Manager must be selected to enable this option.
Request Authorizer	Analysts with this role can authorize requests. Select to enable the Authorization explorer option on the Request Details window. Manager must be selected to enable this option.
Request Stop Clock	Analysts with this role can ‘stop the clock’ on an agreement (such as an SLA). While the clock is stopped, no further time is accumulated on the request for the purposes of the agreement, and no agreement events (such as escalations and breaches of agreements) can occur. Manager must be selected to enable this option.
Request Change Agreement	Analysts with this role can manually override an agreement (SLA) that is currently attached to a request and replace it with another agreement. Alemba® recommends extreme caution in giving Analysts this level of security

Nano Update Without Action	This setting applies only to Nano. While using Nano, analysts with this setting enabled can update requests without first taking action, and the Take Action button will be hidden.

Select to save the changes and close the window. Provide the Change Reasons if prompted to do so. Alternatively, select another tab, if appropriate.
