Creating hybrid roles

This recipe discusses the steps required to create hybrid roles in SCSM. Hybrid role members require delegation across multiple SCSM processes.

Getting ready

You need to have successfully installed the SCSM product, be a user in the SCSM Administrators role and have the SCSM console open.

Review and document the role areas required for the hybrid roles.

How to do it...

Follow these steps to create hybrid roles (roles that are combined of two or more classes):

  1. Document the hybrid process role (for example, users of the hybrid role need to have access to the following: Service Request, Incident Management and Problem Management):

    Process

    Process role

    SCSM Security role (template)

    AD group

    Service Request Fulfillment

    Service Desk

    Service Request Analysts

    SCSM - SR Service Desk

    Incident Management

    Desktop Support

    Incident Resolvers

    SCSM - IM Desktop Support

    Problem Management

    Problem Analysts

    Problem Analysts

    SCSM - PR Escalation Analysts

  2. In the SCSM console, validate the users or groups assigned to each role in scope. In the console, navigate to the Administrators | Security | User Roles and select a role. Select Properties on the Tasks pane and click on Users. Add the hybrid role users to the group assigned to the role:

    How to do it...

  3. Repeat step 2 for all roles in the scope of the hybrid role.

How it works...

SCSM implements its role-based model by the class of process and objects. The notion of a hybrid role for a standard installation requires you to add users to the specific roles dedicated to each process.

The security and rights delegated to a single user across multiple roles is cumulative.

There's more...

SCSM as a product is highly customizable and as a result, you may have an environment that has different classes or extensions to the existing classes discussed in this chapter.

Advance extensions

You can extend the SCSM product to create a hybrid class to support a hybrid delegation model. The extension of SCSM is discussed in Chapter 12, Automating Service Manager  2016. If you have extended SCSM, follow the steps for role security creation in general. Plan to tailor the queues and views to the extended configuration or work items.
