Contract [ast_contract] - can anyone other than contract_manager create/edit?

[aaron47]

Hello,

With OOTB Rome, it appears you must have the contract_manager role in order to create and edit a contract.

Is this correct? Or can people without this role still create/edit a contract?

Assuming I am correct, what confuses me is that the approver of a contract and the person that created the contract both have the contract_manager role.

Example:

Beth Anglin (contract_manager) creates contract.

Beth sets Bud Richman (contract_manager) as the approver.

I would have expected someone higher up than Beth would do this.  In other words, shouldn't Bud Richman have a role like contract_approver or contract_administrator?

I believe it is even possible for Beth to be both creator and approver.

I noticed the 'contract administrator'.  I set it to Allan Schwantd.  Then impersonated Allan.  However Alan could not see any of the fields.  So Contract administrator I assume plays a part in this, but not how I expected.

he is just responsible for managing the contract and interacting with the vendor.

the only role who can see/edit is contract_manager
