COEUS USER ACCESS ROLES New Roles Description Document Roles will align with selection of roles on Coeus Access Form. https://www.brown.edu/research/sites/research/files/c oeus_user_access_roles.pdf
COEUS USER ACCESS ROLES Approve all Proposals for Department (Assigned to Approval Map) *Dept Chair Approval for Designee This is actually not a role that it is assigned - All approvers for a department get put into an approval map for a department. If a Department Admin will have signing authority as a designee for the Chair, we need to have an approval email from the Chair sent to RAIS and Patrice Carroll, Director, Office of Sponsored Projects.
COEUS USER ACCESS ROLES Proposal Creator (Create Proposals for Department) This is assigned at the department level and you need this role for every department you will create proposals in. If you need access to an additional department, you can simply reply to your original request email and ask for additional access.
COEUS USER ACCESS ROLES Aggregator (Modify all Proposals for Department) Full view & access to future proposals for the department. This role does not enable you to see previous submitted proposals for the department. You need an additional role for that View-All Dev Proposals. Useful if want people within your department to automatically default as an Aggregator onto any created proposals. *When you copy a proposal into a different department, it will not pull in any other Aggregators. You will have to manually add other Aggregators.
COEUS USER ACCESS ROLES Brown Assistant Aggregator (Modify proposals for Department but no access to the budget) Can Modify proposal details. Can Modify Narratives / Attachments. No Budget access.
COEUS USER ACCESS ROLES Proposal Assistant (Access to assigned Proposals Only) This role is intended for users who will not create proposals for their department but will be granted access at the proposal level to work on specific proposals within the department. This role will not have access to any proposal they are NOT assigned on.
COEUS USER ACCESS ROLES View-All Dev Proposals (View Access to all Development Proposals for a Department) Designed to give view access to already existing proposal development records to a user without having a role on the proposal. This access will NOT let you view the Grants.gov Budget Forms you need a role on the proposal to do so. This access will NOT let you copy the Budget or Narrative on a Proposal that you do not have a role on.
USER ACCESS ROLES Common Scenario: New Administrator in a department is set up with the View-All Dev Proposals role in their department but needs to copy a proposal submitted prior to them starting (and they do not have a role on). First, ask within the department to copy the pre-existing proposal Someone who had an Aggregator role on the prior proposal If no one in department available to take action, contact RAIS at coeus_help@brown.edu to make a copy.

PROPOSAL- PERSON ADDRESSES Proposal Person Details are loaded nightly from data in Workday. If the Coeus Person record is Missing Office Location, it will not populate address details in the Grants.gov forms. This information is populated from Workday Campus Box Org on the Worker. You will need to enter the Address information in Proposal Personnel section in Coeus to populate the forms. If missing- departments should contact their HR Coordinator directly to rectify the Workday record.
COMMON PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT ERRORS RAIS is working on a new document to highlight common errors. Today we will discuss two frequent errors that people come across: Issues with uploading PDFs Subaward Budget Form Versions
ISSUES with UPLOADING PDFs Issues with uploading PDFs Cannot upload documents to the Narrative section- no error shows. Getting an unknown error in Narrative section with instructions to contact Coeus help. Can occur even when other documents are already uploaded to the Narrative section. The pdf you are trying to upload needs to be re-saved to a smaller, condensed file. Use Print to save function to create a new version of the PDF. From the Print window, choose Adobe PDF or your available PDF option from the dropdown printer list. Click Print to save the document as a new.pdf.
