Managing users
Access to IBM® Maximo Inventory Optimization is granted to two user groups. Standard users, who have regular access, and Guest users, who require approval to access IBM Maximo Inventory Optimization.
Guest users
Guest users must be added to Maximo Inventory Optimization to view reports or act as an approver in workflow. You can add them in other areas of the product, you can only manage (edit and delete) through the Access management feature. Guest users can access workflow approvals and analytic reports, depending on the permissions assigned to them.
Editing a user
Editing a user means that a guest user can be changed to a standard user, and a standard user can
be changed to a guest user. When a guest user is changed to a standard user, all pending approvals
are still with them as a standard user. When a standard user is changed to a guest user, they lose
access to any item change requests that are still being processed.
Note: Before a user role is
edited, it is important to first make sure that the user does not have items in workflow or appear
on workflow rules.
Deleting a user
A user can be deleted only if they have no outstanding activities. Both standard and guest users can be deleted,
