Setting Up Command Authorizations & Routing

  1. Check that users have the unit code that owns the position setup in one of their administrative views.

  2. Check that users have command authorizations setup. Review new commands and their purposes and determine who needs to create HRMS documents, which desks/views may need to be updated or created, and the routing requirements for new document types. Update command authorizations (Section 5. Command Authorizations) and routing (Section 6. Electronic DOCUMENT Routing) in *DEFINE command US1.

  3. Command authorizations can be set up at the area-menu level (JMM), the area submenu level (JAM, JCM, etc.), or the command/document-type level (JA1, JC1, etc.) with either a “V” (view), “U” (update), or “S” (super ) status.

  4. If a desk/view has update status  for the JMM area, that desk/view has update status for ALL commands under it. If routing is setup for J.., it includes ALL document types.

Performance Review Authorization

To view performance review information, a user must have the EP1 desk/view authorization for the owning unit code with a status of “V,” “U,” or “S.” To update performance review information, a user must have the EP1 desk/view authorization with a status of “U” or “S.”


NOTE: EP1 falls outside of the JMM menu of other HRMS command authorizations. Performance review information includes the review date, the reviewer’s name, the date of the next review, and the performance rating. Reports To positions, owning unit heads, and department HR contacts can view performance review information and Reports To positions and owning unit heads can update it without the EP1 desk/view authorization. This access is based on their role as a Reports To position, owning unit head, or HR contact.
