You can set up rules to separate tasks that must be performed by different users. This concept is named segregation of duties. For example, you might not want the same person both to acknowledge the receipt of goods and to process payment to the vendor. Segregation of duties helps you reduce the risk of fraud, and it also helps you detect errors or irregularities. You can also use segregation of duties to enforce internal control policies. Complete the following procedure to create a rule from the Match roles page.
