Perform offline processing using automatic confirmation
You can edit control tests, risk assessments, questionnaires and policy reviews outside of ARIS Risk and Compliance. (It is no longer possible to review control tests using offline processing from 10.0.28.) In contrast to most other role types in ARIS Risk and Compliance the Offline operator and Offline editor role types cannot be assigned to roles in ARIS Risk and Compliance. These role types merely define the task they perform.
Prerequisite
