  Description
  Currently DPAS provides centralized account management when it comes to entering / maintaining DPAS User Accounts, to include what Sites/UICs, Logistics Programs/Warehouses, Maintenance Activities, and Materiel Mgmt. Programs/ICPs the user has access to.  The basis for this input is from Agency/Field appointed Information Officers IOs.
    The goal of this SCR is reduce the level of effort on the DPAS Account Mangers and the Information Owners while decreasing the time between when the action is initiated by the IO and the update is made in the system.  An example of this might be when a user is on leave, or only has drill once a month, and their account becomes suspended.  Not only are they behind in processing of their data from being away, but they must wait a day or so to have their account re-activated when the IO could accomplish the re-activation with minimal effort.   For Guard / Reserve personnel, they may not even get their account re-activated during that 2 day window.  There are other areas of a User's account that might be better severed by having the IO being able to perform the functions, such as the user requires a Commodity Type and or Role due to an employee being on emergency leave for a day that they might not otherwise have required. 

  Recommended
  Create a new user role in the DPAS Administration Module. The proposed role name is: Roles & Commodity Types Manager. The role will give the authorized user the ability to query user roles and account status, re-activate accounts that have been suspended, and allow the user to edit commodity types and roles by Tier (level) as needed by the Agency. The new role will not have ability to grant access to new users, re-activate deleted accounts,  or replicate any of the Account Managers responsibilities.  

  Mission Critical
  Mission critical to the on-going efforts to convert USSOCOM supported activities and units to DPAS. The new role gives USSOCOM ability to rapidly edit user commodity type access and in most case perform roles downgrades as required.

  Benefits
  Benefits all DPAS users that manage the system at the Agency or L/P levels. This new role will save time and eliminate the need to contact the help desk each time a minor change occurs in user status. With the growth of the DPAS system this change will allow the DPAS help desk to focus on system operating issues, and allow the Security team to focus on System Access requirements

  Users
  Impacts every user of DPAS. USSOCOM has only begun to implement WM and receives daily requests to modify user rights in PA and the WM module. This demand will grow as the system use expands.
