Symptom
Field-based permissions are available for nearly all standard and custom fields.
Field restrictions are applied to the worksheet, budget overview, youcalc widgets, compensation profile, and (in 1411) ad hoc reports.
Resolution
Important:
- Currently YouCalc is not supported with FBP. If you apply ANY field based permission to a user for ANY field, that user will no longer see YouCalc widgets. Therefore for users that need to use YouCalc do not enable FBP for them. CALC-1891
- If a field is restricted on the worksheet, it will also be restricted/hidden in the budget overview and Youcalc widgets.
- If a field that is restricted shares a budget or widget with another field, the combined budget overview/widget will be restricted/hidden.
- Hidden fields cannot be exported
- Not every field possible is supported. See below for list of unsupported fields.
Common Uses for FBP
- Hide worksheet fields that are not meaningful to Planners (ie, prorating, salary rate units); 2) Add country specific worksheet fields that are visible to Planners in one country; 3) Custom field viewable by HR only; 4) Change fields to read only while HR reviews the outcome from the planning process.
How to enable Field-based Permissions
- Go to Admin Tools > Compensation > Select your Template > From Settings, enable field-based permissions
- From Actions for all Plans>Group Assignments>Manage Dynamic Groups, select “Manage Field Permission Groups”. From this page, you can create, delete, edit and copy permission groups to have unique access to fields.
- From Manage Permission Roles, Select Manage Compensation>Manage Field based permissions for the RBP role which will manage the groups.
- Go to Settings> Field Permission Groups and select the roles you wish to associate with the plan
- Go to Column Designer>Design Worksheet and change the default permissions for the selected fields. Field visibility and editability by role can be changed both before and after worksheets are launched.
Hover over/click the pencil icon to change the field to view only; Hover over/click the eye icon to hide the field. Then select “Save”.
