Terms and Definitions • Hierarchy-the classification of a group of people or offices according to permissions/authorization. • Permissions-level of access in eSRS.
How To Understand your Agency Hierarchy Make a list of: • Who will accept/reject subcontracting reports? (COs, ACO, PCO, Small Business Managers) • Who will need to review subcontracting reports? (OSDBU, Procurement Directors, IG)
How To Understand your Agency Hierarchy Make a list of: • Who will need to run analytical reports of subcontracting data? • Where do these people/organizations reside in your agency?
