Transfer Responsibilities Tool
The Transfer Responsibilities Tool provides a way to transfer selected responsibilities from one user to another. This is especially useful if a staff member retires and another staff member takes over their job duties.
- The tool is available on the Users page or any pages that display users. It does not require you to select users first.
- You'll select two users: one "From User" and one "To User". You can't divide responsibilities among multiple users. However, you can use the tool to print the information without processing the removal or transfer. Review the departing user's responsibilities and strategically plan how to assign their work.
- The tool identifies all the rights and records that currently belong to the user leaving their role, and you can select which ones to remove or reassign to the other user.
- Certain responsibilities are static and you can't configure them using a parameter. You must assign these to the To User. See more information under Configurable & Static Responsibilities.
- Once you complete the transfer, the tool removes responsibilities from the departing user. Depending on your selections, the tool either deletes them or transfers them to the other user.
- Consider the appropriate timing for using this tool! Remember that the departing user will no longer have rights to Platform, and the other user will immediately assume these rights.
Configurable & Static Responsibilities
Here's a complete list of records and fields that may be affected by this tool, assuming they currently apply to the From User. SPoCs should review these before taking action.
