User Roles and Modules

SC Navigator has many advanced features and functionalities. However, not every user needs all the ‘bells and whistles’, and these functionalities may be overwhelming instead of empowering. For this reason, we have ring-fenced (made available) the functionality to users with different licensing conditions and roles in 2 different ways:

• User Roles

• Modules

Each role and module is crafted to ensure that users have the appropriate permissions to perform their tasks effectively. This section provides a detailed overview of the available user roles, modules and their access permissions to the functionalities within the application.

User Roles

In an organization, there are typically different roles that use SC Navigator in different ways. For this reason, we have ring-fenced (made available) the functionality to users with different roles in the organization, in the following way:

Action/Roles	Modeler	Analyst	Consumer
Create datasets	✓	_	_
Run Optimizations	✓	✓	_
View Results	✓	✓	✓

Example:

• Center of Excellence (Modeler) creates datasets, makes them available, and keeps them updated for Analysts in the Business Unit.

• The Business Unit Analyst runs various optimization scenarios against the dataset.

• The Business Unit Analyst shares results for viewing and comparing with their management (Consumer).

Modules

In addition, SC Navigator has various modules that expose different functionalities to the user. The diagram below shows the modules that users can currently be licensed for:
