Multiple Roles to a single User

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

of what I know, it's not yet possible in Anaplan to set multiple Roles to a single User within a model. This would be a very useful enhancement, since it's very often asked from customers.

User A —> Role 1

User B —> Role 2

User C —> Role 1 and Role 2

In this moment the workaround is to create a different Role for User C which is Role 3, but this requires a configuration of objects security and mainteinance.

Thank you,

Joana

Hi @JoanaNdreu,

But you still have to configure role 1 and role 2. I think this merging will degrade security, because instead of thoughtfully creating a role on demand, you are giving the user excessive rights. You could just go with Full Access.
In my opinion, it would be more convenient to be able to import from a file when configuring roles. Then you can quickly merge the settings of two roles, making sure they are sufficient and not redundant.

This feature will make it easier to maintain roles. Otherwise, making a change to Role 2 would require remembering to update Role 3, plus all other roles that were explicitly created to include Role 2.

Status Log
Could you please allow me to see a log of the processing status of the workspace and model? Once this is achieved, it will be possible to identify the cause of the failure to some extent by checking the logs when it occurs, and the speed of response to the failure will increase.
