Quantum security is built on certain delivered roles and the access those roles provide to execute transactions and approvals.  In addition to the roles, Quantum also complements its security with built-in approval workflows and internal controls.  For example, although users could hold conflicting roles of an initiator and approver, the user would not be allowed to fill both roles on the same transaction.

Users must identify the role they will need, based on their jobs, and complete an online User Authorization Form to get access to Quantum Financials, Quantum Analytics, and Quantum Planning and Budgeting.  Once the appropriate form(s) is completed and approved, users will be granted access. The forms can be located at: https://cf.umaryland.edu/eumb-forms/index.cfm?landingPage=1 

The roles, definitions and, required training are summarized here. 

The Quantum Organization Hierarchy can be found in Quantum Financials > Campus Reports > QFN190 Org Hierarchy.
