Overview of BrassRing Administrator Roles

Product: BrassRing on Cloud, and Workbench.

Overview of BrassRing Administrator Roles
The BrassRing Administrator/Super User Role
  • BrassRing Administrators (or Super Users) are responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of BrassRing. Their typical responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:
    • Administering users of BrassRing (This does not apply to clients with Talent Suite)
    • Maintaining codes tables
    • Running reports
  • Most of these functions can be found within BrassRing, by the Admin+ menu.
Workbench Administrator Role
  • Workbench Administrators are responsible for maintaining the BrassRing configuration in keeping with the changing needs of your company’s hiring process and requirements. Greater changes can be made by the Workbench Admin and with more complex results. These modifications can largely impact data integrity and system usability. For that reason, there are typically fewer Workbench Admins than Super Users at your company. Typical responsibilities include, but not limited to:
    • Defining User Type permissions
    • Administering forms, form fields, and the options for those form fields
    • Configuring triggers within Automation Manager
    • Creating and managing Talent Gateways
  • The tasks that are mentioned are completed by using Workbench, a web-based application separate from BrassRing. To use Workbench, the Workbench Admin must first earn a Workbench Administration Certification from IBM.
  • With each new BrassRing release, Workbench users can be increasingly trained and certified to access the new functions.
  • These tasks can only be completed by your IBM BrassRing Representative, but not a Workbench Administrator:
    • Set general default client settings for the BrassRing system (set the timeout period, password reset, and so on.).
    • Activate Rules Automation Manager (RAM) triggers in Production.
