Publishing Process Units

After a process unit is approved, you can publish it to make its data available for viewing by all users. To publish a process unit, you must be assigned the Review Supervisor security role and All access rights.

The process unit must have a status of OK, OK SC, or NO DATA before you can publish it. After you publish a process unit, its status changes to Published. When a process unit has a Published status, you must be assigned the Review Supervisor security role to modify the data.

Note:

When a process unit has a Published status, the system does not perform a check for security roles. Any user who has Read or All access to the entity can view the entity’s data, but it is available only for viewing.
