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.

Hi aaron,

Yes this is the only role that comes OOB but if beth anglin creates contract and sets bud as an approver she cant approve state field is read only for her only approver and everyone with contract_manager role can approve that contract except the one who created.

Mark Correct or Helpful if it helps.

Hello,

I have realised that contract administrator and business owner is just listing all people from the sys_user table even those that are not active.  It has nothing to do with access to contract.  So with the screenshot, Allan Schwantd can't see the contract set up even though he is listed as as the contract administrator.
