Cause

Expected Behavior

Resolution

Configuring Field Based Permissions for a Compensation Plan only affects the Compensation environment. Currenlty Ad-hoc framework does not support Field Based Permissions. This means in the worksheet(s), any field that a user does not have permission to view will not show, while in Ad-hoc reporting they will. For more information on Field Based Permissions see:
