Job Assignment Configuration

The Job Assignment module allows you to add to and/or use existing Job Security to limit the Jobs available in the portal.

You must be a System Admin to configure this module.
  1. Select Admin > Portal Settings > Security / Login > Data Security.
  2. Modify portal setting Job Data Security Mode. This setting will change the jobs available for all modules.

    • Off: Everyone can see all jobs in Timecards.

    • On - Fail Open: Those assigned to a security group only see jobs they are assigned to. If you have a VA User profile and are not assigned to a security group, you see no jobs. If you are not assigned to a security group or have a VA user profile, you see all jobs. This mode will use both Job Security assigned in the portal and bJob Security assigned in Vista.

    • On - Fail Closed: Those assigned to a security group only see jobs they are assigned to. If you are not assigned to a security group, you see no jobs. This mode uses both the Job Security assigned in the portal and bJob Security assigned in Vista.

    • On - Use Allocations Only: Use portal allocations (Job Assignments) and ignore bJob Security. This mode will only use job security assigned in the portal. Those not assigned cannot access any jobs. Security groups can be assigned in Vista in VA Security Groups and VA Data Security Access (Datatype bJob) or in portal Job Assignments.

  3. If you would like the Job Assignments made in the portal to create bJob security groups and to assign employees into the group memberships, enable portal setting Job Data Security (bJob) link enabled, found in Admin > Portal Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Security / Login > Advanced Configuration. You do not need to enable this setting to use Job Assignments.
  4. To assign access to the Job Assignment module, select Admin > User Access and filter to Field. Assign Job Allocation access to those who will need to modify the assignments.
    Now that you have configured this module your users will be able to access Job Allocation and make assignments. If you are the user who will be making the Job Assignments, log out and log back in before continuing to Manage Job Assignments.
