Improved User Management Administration

• Developer: Ritesh S.
• Leadership Sponsor: Edward Lee

User Stories

1. Scenario: Customer has 5 businesses and 30 projects created. Existing team of resources is allocated to those businesses and projects already. Problem: A new resource joins the team. It is very time consuming and tedious process to assign this new resource to existing businesses and projects. Solution: Have a centralized easy to use and easy to understand User interface for managing users, roles as well as manage resource association with business and projects.

2. Scenario: A user having "Resource Manager" role (not yet in PNET) and this user is responsible for managing the resources and their allocation. RM functionality provides the functionality to manage allocations. Problem: It is very difficult for Resource Manager to add/modify/delete the resources before allocating them with projects. Solution: Provide a centralized functionality for RM which enables user to manager following tasks from centralize place.

• add/modify/delete user
• add/modify/delete role
• manage roles associated with users
• view all businesses for specific user
• view all projects for specific user
• associate/remove new business to user
• associate/remove new project to user
