Abstract
A role action framework allows for comprehensive control of various objects, data, and behaviors within a procurement and requisitioning application. This framework can be extended to be used by various transactions. A common and central mechanism that makes a supplier relationship management application highly configurable can be provided. This mechanism can allow organizations to customize the application in a manner that is most suitable for the different types of those organizations' users. For example, using this mechanism, users having defined roles within the organization can be limited to appropriate interactions with various facets of the application, such as objects, data, and behaviors. Using the mechanism, an organization can define customized roles, and for each role, the organization can define, for each facet of the application, interactions that users assigned to that role can have relative to that facet.
