Use process permissions A setting that grants an organizational group access to a process flow's views. to assign all members of an organizational group access to a process flow.  There is no single way of developing the process for information flow in your agency. Defining an agency’s organization structure is a crucial part of any WebEOC Nexus implementation. Process requires structure, and process permissions help to enforce that structure.

Administrators can manage as many processes as they need to support their organization. With the Manage Process Permission feature, administrators can add, edit, or delete any process for an organizational group. For example, administrators can create process permissions for situation reporting, making requests, or assigning tasks.
