The RCA team is the group of individuals who will complete the steps required for a comprehensive root cause analysis. Security permissions in the Root Cause Analysis module are based on family-level privileges and a user's role within a given Root Cause Analysis. Root Cause Analysis users who are members of the RCA Team will have one of the following RCA team member roles:
Principal Analyst: The user who is responsible for facilitating and coordinating the Root Cause Analysis.
Analysis Team Member: Any user who is a member of an RCA Team.
You can add Meridium Enterprise APM users and non-Meridium Enterprise APM users to the RCA Team.
Meridium Enterprise APM users will have an existing Meridium Enterprise APM Security User account and an associated Human Resource that is created automatically when the Security User account is created.
Non-Meridium Enterprise APM users will not have a Meridium Enterprise APM Security User account. To add a non-Meridium Enterprise APM user to the RCA Team, you first need to create a Human Resource for that user.
When you add new members to the RCA Team, an RCA Team Member is created automatically and linked to the Root Cause Analysis and the individual's Human Resource. If the same team member is linked to multiple analyses, an RCA Team Member will exist for each RCA team in which it is a member. The RCA Team Member stores the RCA Team member's role (i.e., Team Member or Principal Analyst).
In RCA, Security Group membership is used in conjunction with a user's role within a given analysis to determine what that user can and cannot do with that analysis. A given team member's role determines the security privileges that the user has in Root Cause Analysis. After you add a new team member to the RCA Team, that user will inherit the security privileges associated with the user's team member role (e.g., Principal Analyst).
Each analysis has:
A Principal Analyst who can perform all functions related to the analysis.
Analysis team members, who can perform most functions related to analysis but are restricted from performing some tasks that are reserved for the Principal Analyst.
Viewers, who can only view the analysis.
For a complete description of the functions that are allowed and not allowed based on a user's role within an analysis, see the RCA Security Groups. Privileges granted through roles are done through data filters that are defined on the baseline Analysis family for Root Cause Analyses.
