The following examples show how you might set up roles and responsibilities within Opportunity Management for your organization.
Roles example: A capital campaign drive
After the IT Manager sets up the Opportunity Management system, the Capital Campaign Director identifies new opportunities and assigns Development Officer #1 to be the owner of the new opportunity. The Development Officer communicates with prospects and contacts. The Campaign Assistant creates opportunities when the Campaign Director is out of the office and provides reports to upper management.
Based on this scenario, the following Opportunity security roles and Opportunity group roles are assigned to the participants:
