Default rights

Default rights

The default rights sets can be used by the application manager to consult the standard rights sets per module from the Spend Cloud. These rights sets are set up by the consultant during an implementation. Separations of duties have been taken into account. However, it is possible that the standard permission sets can no longer be consulted in your Spend Cloud environment due to changes or other reasons. In the attachment of this article you can find the standard permission sets and create them if necessary.
