Selective Access to Lists for Roles (as well as Users)?

PaulSki

Is Selective Access for Roles (as well as Users) technically possible / practicable to implement?

While Selective Access for Users is of course useful, my experience tells me that it would be even more useful for Roles, particularly for a numerous user base.

If the answer is no, then is there any workaround to meet the challenge of maintaining Selective Access for a large number of Users, perhaps driven by Roles?

Hi, 

 

I've only ever thought about Selective Access as being related to users, and granted when they are assigned to roles.  This way, I can have fewer roles to maintain, and accomodate broad selective access.

 

User Access settings can be bulk loaded, including Selective Access.  This is pretty neat because access levels can, in effect, be requested through anaplan, approved, and then (approved) changes bulk loaded upon approval (through a workflow).  In addition, workflows for collaborative processes can effectively convert write access to read access by user area via dashboarded processes... and then convert them back to write when we want to open the system back up.  This is really nice if the native workflow doesn't support the requirements exactly.

Please would you validate my understanding of your reply?

You seem to imply that the Platform does not need to accommodate Selective Access for Roles natively, because that useful facility could be incorporated in a comprehensive Access Management solution, using Anaplan module(s) and bulk loading.
Such a solution might also provide other features such as temporary removal of write access by user area, and - I would add - accommodate Users performing multiple Roles, which also isn't offered natively.
