Team user roles

Users in an organization can be added to a team, which will allow the user to perform actions on specific steps in the request. A user can hold more than one team role. A team can be added to a Bot by the Bot Owner. Teams are configured by Professional Services.

Team user roles

There are three different Team user roles in Autonomous Sourcing: Approver, Supplier Selector, and Awarder. Each role can perform a different function, and will interact with the Bot at different stages of the Autonomous Sourcing process. 

  • Approver: a user in a team who can approve or decline rate requests
  • Supplier Selector: a user in a team who can select the suppliers to invite
  • Awarder: a user in a team who can award the winning suppliers

All users who are added to a Bot can create a request. A user is assigned to a specific team to perform the relevant action in a request step.

Table 1 lists the permissions for each team role
