Understanding Change Management Roles

The CMII, Simple Change Management, and Express Change Management processes are available in the Product Engineering application. Each of these change processes has its own Change Management ItemTypes and Workflows. They are discussed in detail in the Aras Product Engineering 14 - User Guide.

Each Change Management ItemType is handled by specific Roles in its Workflow. These Roles are represented as Change Management (CM) Identities, Change Management (CM) Teams, and System Identities:

• The CM Identities are used in the CMII and Simple Change Management Workflows.
• The CM Teams, as well as the CM Identities, are used in the Express Change Management Workflows.
• The System Identities are Roles that the system defines, such as an Item Creator or Owner.

As an Administrator, you must assign User and Group Identities to the CM Identities and Teams used in your workflows.
