Organizational Model - WebUI business role assignment

Question

We have created the organizational model in our system where we have the levels that are tied to a specific business role.   We have been manually assigning all of our users to these organizational model levels in order to have the business role assignment.   I am curious if there is a program or easier way to do this than to have to create the assignment to the employee record manually in the org model.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks,
Darcie

Hi Robert,
maintaining the user profile directly may be easier with only a few employees but for large companies this method will end up being more maintenance intensive.
for Org you only have to maintain it on the Org unit or position and all employees underneath will inherit the role; whether it's 2 individuals or 2000. and if the person is moved into a different position laterally or through promotion there would be no maintenance required as the information would replicate from HR (if you use/have the system) and the person would inherit the new position and role automatically.
for User parameter if you only have 2 individuals it is easier but 2000 is too much to maintain. there is some automation but would require you to create them and run them yourself.
pfcg at most companies do not fall under general master data maintenance and would require involvement from the security group and they often do not want to generate empty or unnecessary security/authorization profiles - the maintenance workload is shifted to them also in this case.
regards.
