2135479 - Permissions - Field-based permissions using RBP - Compensation

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

  1. 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.
