User Roles

The following table describes the user roles for each application in the Plant Applications Web Client.
ApplicationUser Roles Description
Unit OperationsEnables operators to clock on the operations, perform the operations, specify the consumption of BOM items, provide data for quality variables, and mark the operations complete. Operators can also create a defect if a part is defective, which appears in Non Conformance.
Note: While the Unit Operations application provides a list of serial numbers on which you can perform an operation using a selected piece of equipment, the Work Queue module provides a list of operations that are available for you to work on (regardless of the piece of equipment required to perform the operation).
Non ConformanceEnables quality engineers to access the record of non-conformities raised as defects on serial numbers or material lots and decide the disposition plan for a defect.
Work Order ManagerEnables supervisors to monitor the status and progress of work orders and manage the priority of a work order if required.
Route EditorEnables supervisors to create routes and define the product line, material, BOM formulation, operations, BOM items, equipment, documents, and properties used in each route.
Work QueueEnables operators to view a list of operations in their work queue, add additional operations, clock on the operations, perform the operations, specify the consumption of BOM items, provide data for quality variables, and mark the operations complete. Operators can also create a defect if a part is defective, which appears in Non Conformance.
Note: While the Unit Operations application provides a list of serials/lots on which you can perform an operation using a selected piece of equipment, the Work Queue module provides a list of operations that are available for you to work on (regardless of the piece of equipment required to perform the operation).
Time BookingEnables an operator or supervisor to view labor records (timesheet), add missing time records, and modify the applied time of a previously submitted record.
Property DefinitionEnables supervisors to create the property definitions, and then link these properties to a specific property group and property category.
SecurityEnables Administrators to add groups to an application, provide access to an application for users to access the application, and remove access to a privilege sets.
Approval CockpitEnables an administrator to configure, execute, and track approval workflows for action events.
ConfigurationEnables a system integrator to perform the following tasks in the Unit Operations and Work Queue applications:
  • Show or hide the tabs.
  • Add and configure custom tabs.
  • Integrate external applications and services.
DowntimeEnables operators to add, modify, copy, delete, split, and merge downtime events for the selected machines.
OEE Dashboard and ReportsEnables supervisors, process engineers, maintenance engineers, and operation leaders to enhance the capability of Plant Applications data to monitor quality, performance, availability, and overall equipment effectiveness of plant equipment.
My MachinesEnables operators to select the required machines, from the assigned machines, for which they want to view the downtime events.
AnalysisEnables operators, supervisors, and process engineers to analyze time series data and live issues, and to quickly troubleshoot issues and make improvements. Process engineers can also analyze the production batches and golden batches information.
ActivitiesEnables operators and supervisors to perform, complete, release, and skip an activity associated with an event.
Process OrdersEnables operators and supervisors to monitor the progress of the process orders.
AlarmsEnables supervisors to receive alarm notifications based on rules configured in Plant Applications Administrator.
WasteEnables an operator or supervisor to create records for a waste event and associate it with a production event.
