Using data access dimensions

A PPM user who logs in using restricting data access privileges can only view data that is released for him. From an overall system perspective, the use of data access dimensions has the following effect:

Process access privileges

Process access privileges specified for a user are evaluated independent on data access privileges. Within the process types released for him, a user can only analyze the data corresponding to his data access privileges.

Data analysis

Every analysis inquiry is automatically supplemented by the filter for the access dimensions applicable for the user logged in. The filters for multiple data access dimensions are linked by an AND rule.

Filter dialogs

If the data access privileges for a user are restricted, in the filter dialog for the corresponding data access dimension, only the dimension values released for that user are displayed for selection.

Planned values

A user can only create planned values for data for which he has data access privileges. As with the data analysis, the filter for the access dimensions applicable to the user logged in is automatically added to the planned value definition.
If planned values are defined for which the data access dimension filter, valid for the user logged in, is only part of the filter valid for the planned value, the planned value is displayed but cannot be edited by the user.

Aggregation and deleting

A user can only aggregate and delete the data for which he has data access privileges. As with the data analysis, the filter for the access dimensions applicable to the user logged in is automatically used.

For persistent aggregation, iteration automatically uses the data access dimension so that the assignment of the aggregated process instances to the data access dimensions is retained.

Data import

Data can be imported with no restrictions. If a user has the data import privilege, he can also import data for which he will not actually have access privileges after completing the import operation.

Process instance-independent data

The behavior of data access privileges applies to process instance-independent measures and dimensions with no restrictions. In this case, you can use any dimensions of the imported process instance-independent data as data access dimensions.
