What is not possible for P&A staff in the BLSDM system?

• A. Request an individual report
• B. Change of rater
• C. Report duty status change
• D. Request change of status

Answer: (B)

In BLSDM, permissions are tied to a user’s role, directing what actions they can perform. P&A staff handle routine personnel administration tasks such as generating or requesting individual reports, updating duty status information, and initiating changes of personnel status as part of keeping accurate records. However, changing who serves as a employee’s rater is tied to the performance management workflow and requires a role with authority over performance assignments (like a supervisor or HR/performance administrator). Allowing P&A staff to change the rater would bypass those controls and risk integrity and auditability of performance data. That’s why changing the rater isn’t available to P&A staff, while the other tasks align with their typical responsibilities and permissions.
