View User Roles > Step-by-Step

“Roles” control the type of work you can perform while using eGrants.  The roles assigned to you by the Agency User Administrator determine the information you can view and the types of actions you can perform, such as creating a grant application, editing a grant application or submitting a grant application.

Note that roles also are specified individually for each Program Office.  If you have access to more than one Program Office, your privileges for each may be different. 

ROLE EXPIRATION AND REVIEW:  For security, roles are valid for only one year at a time.  Your Agency User Administrator is responsible for reviewing and updating your account on an annual basis.  If you have trouble logging into the system or performing your assigned tasks, contact your Agency User Administrator to review or renew your user roles.

To view your role assignment:

1.       From any screen, click the Profile icon Description: 00userprofile beside your name in the upper right corner.  The View Profile screen appears.

2.       The Roles panel contains information about your assigned roles for the current Program Office.  Click the panel to expand it or close it as needed.

3.       View the roles assigned in the window.

4.       To review roles for a different Program Office, click the Program Office link to change it.  Repeat the steps to view the profile information and roles for the new office.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Roles are assigned only by authorized Agency User Administrators.  If you need to add or change a role, contact the User Administrator for your Agency.
