By default, only members of the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist groups have access to the CREATE NEW EVALUATION action. Once an evaluation is created, contracting personnel can view the evaluations they have created.

All other users can view only the evaluations they are assigned to as members of the Evaluation team.
