Authorizations

You define authorizations for Maximo Anywhere users in the provider application, Maximo® Asset Management.

The authorizations that you define in Maximo Anywhere are based on security group membership. The authorizations that are required by Maximo Anywhere users are predefined in the following security groups:
  • ANYWHERE_APPROVER
  • ANYWHERE_ASSET_AUDITER
  • ANYWHERE_ASSET_MANAGER
  • ANYWHERE_INSPECTOR
  • ANYWHERE_ISSUES_RETURNS
  • ANYWHERE_PHYSICAL_COUNT
  • ANYWHERE_SERVICE_REQUEST
  • ANYWHERE_TECHNICIAN
  • ANYWHERE_TRANSFERS

To authorize app access and grant the appropriate level of data access, you must add users to the associated security group. To authorize users for specific sites, labor, storerooms, and GL components, you must add users to other security groups that are created for this purpose. In addition, you can restrict access to status changes in the Maximo Work Technician app by applying role-based conditions.

Some of the system settings that you configure in Maximo Anywhere affect the processes and user actions that are supported in the Maximo Anywhere apps. For example, the timer options that you define for the work management process in the Organizations application affect labor reporting in the Technician app.

In the Technician app and the Inspector app, access to routes and directions for the map view is dependent on authorization to third party map services. If your users require access to this information, you must configure these apps appropriately.
