2180801 - Enabling Granular Permissions in Compensation & Variable Pay

• When setting Compensation & Variable Pay permissions, you can only permission items based on the main admin tools options.
• You cannot set permissions for the features within Compensation Home such as Design Worksheet, Copy Plan, Add plan etc.
• With Granular Role Based Permissions (RBP) this gives you the ability and expands the number of options which can be controlled via RBP.
• This allows a greater level of control for administrators to restricts permissions.
