Well...other dynamic groups such as 'Assignee Group' and 'Public' are available in Deployable Apps without the need to give them roles. So I must assume that you don't need to give ones you create yourself roles either...I had never even really thought about that before...:)
_____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Opela (Corporate) Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 2:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Roles and Dynamic Groups ** Okay, this is my last question today, I promise. This is kind of a wrap-up of some of the questions I've posted lately. How do you create the role for a dynamic group when using deployable applications? I tried by creating the role like normal. I kept the same name for the role and the group, they are both Purchaser. To the roll, I gave the negative group id, 60003 was the group id, so I gave the role -60003. The problem I had was that whenever I went into an object to add permissions, both the role and the group showed up. Basically, Purchaser showed up twice. None of my other roles do this, only the roles for dynamic groups. So, I deleted the roles thinking maybe you don't need roles for dynamic groups, even though what little I can get out of the documentation says you do, even though it always talks about regular and computed groups when creating roles. Now, any time I add a dynamic group permission to an object, everyone in the world gets access to the object, not just the person in the Purchaser field. So, basically, once I deleted the role for Purchaser, and put just the group for Purchaser on the field, then remedy started giving everyone access. I can kind of see why it would do this, but my main question is why does Purchaser show up twice in my group list on my permissions tab for an object if I have a role created for it? I'm sure this is an elementary question, but I've never needed to use both a dynamic group and a deployable application.
