What is the difference between the User Responsibility Area under User Management and the EventWatch Personal Preferences & Notifications page?

User Responsibility Area – Under User Management:

The User Responsibility Area in the User Management page is primarily used to define the partners (suppliers) and part categories that a user is responsible for. This section is only accessible to users with Company Admin access and plays a crucial role in determining what data a user can interact with in the portal.

Key Functions:

1. EventWatch Notifications Filtering:

• 
  
  • If a user selects specific suppliers or part categories under the User Responsibility Area, their EventWatch notifications will be filtered accordingly.
  • This ensures that the user receives alerts only for events impacting the selected suppliers and categories, reducing unnecessary notifications.

      2. Portal Visibility & Dashboards:

• 
  
  • The selections made in the User Responsibility Area directly influence Orion dashboards within the Resilinc portal.
  • The data and analytics presented in these dashboards are tailored based on the selected suppliers and categories, ensuring a more relevant user experience.

• EventWatch Personal Preferences & Notifications Page:

The EventWatch Preferences & Notifications page offers a broader range of customization options compared to the User Responsibility Area. It is accessible to both admin and non-admin users and allows additional filtering capabilities beyond just suppliers and part categories.

Key Functions:

1. Preference Customization:

• 
  
  • Users can set preferences not only for suppliers and part categories but also for:
    • Event Type
    • Country Site
    • User-Defined Attributes (UDA)
  • This provides greater flexibility in tailoring notifications according to user needs.

      2. Additional Supplier Selection:

• 
  
  • If an admin user assigns 10 suppliers to a non-admin user via the User Management page, those will be pre-selected in the supplier grid under EventWatch Preferences.
  • However, non-admin users can manually add more suppliers in their personal settings through the Preferences & Notifications page.
  • Any additional selections made in this section will be reflected in the User Management page as well.
