	<GeneralSection><List><ListIntro>The <Link href="/baanerp/tg/glossary/glossary#000104" role="glossary">organization model</Link> represents an enterprise from an organizational point of view. An organization model consists of the following model items and their mutual relationships:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/tg/glossary/glossary#000229" role="glossary">Employee group</Link>
			</ListItem>
			<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/tg/glossary/glossary#000103" role="glossary">Employee</Link>
			</ListItem>
			<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/tg/glossary/glossary#000034" role="glossary">Role</Link>
			</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>Via the organizational model you can define in detail what is displayed in the <Link href="/baanerp/tg/glossary/glossary#000228" role="glossary">dynamic menu browser</Link> and the scheduling process of activities in case of SSA Workflow.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>In the repository, you can define the employees that must fulfill the roles that are linked to business processes and activities.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The employees can be grouped into so called employee groups. The employee groups can be categorized by linking an employee group type.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Employee groups can be used for scheduling purposes by SSA Workflow. If you link an employee group to an activity (Extended Scheduling options), this activity will be scheduled to all employees within the linked employee group.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>When modeling you can create employees without the need of creating the related ERP users at the same time. Instead you first define all employees in the <Link href="/baanerp/tg/brg/tgbrg8135m000" role="session">Employees (tgbrg8135m000)</Link> session together with some more detailed information on the employee. The second step, for which you need full authorization for the <Link href="/baanerp/tt/aad/ttaad2500m000" role="session">User Data (ttaad2500m000)</Link> session, is to configure (create) the ERP users for each of the employees. To do this you select the Configure ERP Users by DEM Employees command on the Specific menu of the <Link href="/baanerp/tg/brg/tgbrg8135m000" role="session">Employees (tgbrg8135m000)</Link> session. Before the new ERP users can logon they need to be registered manually as a database user, which needs to be done by an system administrator.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>For each new created (configured) ERP User, default ERP User DEM settings will be created at first logon of the ERP User. The ERP User will be notified via a message dialog. To avoid that the ERP User gets the default ERP User DEM settings you need to specify them yourself via the <Link href="/baanerp/tg/brg/tgbrg8136m000" role="session">User DEM Settings (tgbrg8136m000)</Link> session.</Paragraph>
		<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>Because employee groups are only used by workflow you must not forget to set the value of the Workflow Enabled field to either set the value to Modeling or Run Time and Modeling. If the value of the forementioned field is No, you can still define employee groups, but you cannot link them to an activity.</Paragraph>
