In your organization, certain individuals may be required to perform tasks or functions in Prospero in addition to simply executing pre-defined reports in read-only mode. In this instance, a Standard User license is used when users do not require Administrative-level permissions but do require more permissions than is granted by a Limited User license.
The Standard User License is required as the minimum license for primary Prospero budgeting input.
A Standard User license is required for user accounts associated to the default Launcher Role and is required for one, or all, of the following permissions:
Report Use Roles
•Run Reports – This permission allows the execution of any report a user has defined or to which they have been granted rights to via the Visibility option.
•Publish Reports – This permission allows the user to publish reports they have defined or to which they have been granted rights to via the Visibility option. For more information see Creating Published Reports.
Input User Roles
•Input Data – This permission allows the user to input budgeting data using Input definitions and run the input Calculation Task. (Where the user has read-only access, the input Calculation Task option will be disabled.)
•Input Human Resources Data – This permission allows the user to input budgeting HR data on Input Definitions and run the HR Calculation Task. (Where the user has read-only access or the read-only Human Resources permission defined on the Role, the HR Calculation Task will be disabled.)
•Input Capital Data – This permission allows the user to input budgeting capital data on Input definitions.
•Use Human Resources Management – This permission allows the user access to the HR Management screen option. When checked, users can access the HR Management screen. Otherwise, the screen is disabled.
Note: Input User Role permissions apply only when Prospero budgeting is licensed. For more information refer to the section on Prospero Licensing
Import/Export Roles
•Extract Data – This permission allows export of GL data from the Prospero system. For more information see the Data Extract Tool.
•Import Data – This permission allows import of data to the Prospero system. For more information see the section on the Excel Import process.
•Perform Integration – This permission allows integration functions between the Prospero system and any external GL system. For more information see the Data Integration process.
The Standard User License also allows you to grant any permission associated to the Limited User licenses. See the section on Limited User License for more information.
Note: While a Standard User license can be associated to any Role which has fewer permissions, a Standard User cannot be associated to a Role which requires greater permissions. In short, associating a Standard User license to an individual that requires only limited Prospero functionality – and thereby permissions - is not necessarily the best utilization of that license.
