A functional role describes a set of skills and activities
that are typically performed by a department within an organization,
for example, a manager, director, or vice president. Functional roles
are defined by the organizational structure of a company. Resources
are assigned to these roles within that department.
You specify the range of functional roles in the classification
hierarchy for roles. After you create functional roles in the classification
hierarchy, you can assign a functional role to a resource. Functional
roles are also related to spaces.
During a move, the allocation of a space is based on functional
role assignments and the entitlements that are associated with the
functional role. The entitlement that is associated with the functional
role determines the type and size of space that a person can move
to.Figure 1. Functional role assignment and functional role entitlement
