# Configure Health and Safety

Configure the Health and Safety business unit to enable employees to submit and manage health and safety‑related requests.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin, sn\_cbs.admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Admin** > **Admin Home**.

2.  On the Core Business Suite card, select **View product overview**.

3.  In the Configuration insights section, select **Configure**.

    The Configure Core Business Suite page opens in the Configuration Console.

4.  From the Configuration Summary navigation menu, select **Health and Safety**.

    Alternatively, select **Continue** on the Health and Safety tile.

    Configure the following settings as needed:

    -   Intake forms \(preconfigured by default\)
    -   Manage Groups
    -   Role assignment
    -   Notifications \(preconfigured by default\)
    **Note:** By default, the CBS admin role cannot configure Manage Groups or Role assignment. To complete these tasks, assign the User admin role \(user\_admin\) to the CBS admin \(sn\_cbs.admin\).

    for more information, see .

5.  Customize existing intake form or create new ones to collect Health and Safety requests.

    The following intake form is preconfigured by default:

        **Note:** Create intake forms directly in the production instance. Intake forms created in sub-production instances are not supported for promotion to production.

6.  Manage groups to organize users who handle health and safety requests, manage content, and configure access.

    -   Health and Safety default groups

        The following groups are preconfigured with associated roles:

        |Health and Safety Request Handlers|Receive, assign, and respond to Health and Safety requests.|
        |Health and Safety Administrators|Manage Health and Safety roles, processes, and tools.|

        2.  In the Assign people to this group field, search for and select users.
        3.  Select **Save**.

            **Note:** Users added to a default group are automatically assigned the roles listed under Default assigned role.
