KBA-01253: Preventing Users from Viewing Revenue data

Problem:

Is it possible to restrict users‘ access to Revenue numbers in BFA or prevent them from drilling down to the Revenue data from the Project Analysis Details?

Solution:

No one can access revenue data unless they have the LIST | Can see Revenue Transactions capability in one of their roles.  Only users with this capability in an assigned role will be allowed to drill-down on Revenue Account Categories in the Transaction drill-down.

Without the LIST | Can see Revenue Transaction capability:

  1. [Cost Analysis] If users attempt to drill down to Revenue transaction on the Project Cost Analysis, they will be notified that ‘Access to these transactions is denied‘.
  2. [BFA] On BFA spreadsheets, users not granted the above listed capability will still be able to:
    • view the rows and columns related to Revenue, but no Revenue values will be visible.
    • select the Revenue Category for a filter value, but Revenue values will not be displayed.
    • add new rows to the spreadsheet, but will not be able to add values if the row is a Revenue row.

Users without Revenue Transaction access can be readily identified by the RevLock notation on the About Spitfire window accessed from the Spitfire menu on BFA.

Additional Comments:

For more information about roles and capabilities, see the technical white paper Designing User Roles.
