Access Driver Behavior - Workspace Admin vs Regular User

sagarkpr

I have a module X, that has two Line item Line item A which is Boolean Formatted and Line Item B which is Number formatted but has Write Access Driver set to Line item A.

I have a process that Import data from Module Y to Module X.

I am noticing a unique behavior depending on who is running the process on UX screen.

If someone with Workspace Admin Access run the process, both line item in A gets updated however if a non-admin user run the process, only the Line item A gets update but line B doesnt.

I am assuming this is because of write access driver, since the Line item A has to be True before Line item B can be updated.

I break down my import to into two action, one updating boolean and other updating number. In that case, both the line item gets two items.

So my question - Why is there is difference in behavior depending on when Workspace Admin runs the process. Is this normal behavior?

Hello @sagarkpr,

I can't speak to why this behavior exists, but is known/normal behavior. It's also documented in the Anapedia article on Dynamic Cell Access here.

As mentioned WSA is not impacted by DCA when running import actions, if you need the DCA to stay intact I would suggest using a view and applying a filter.

Thank you both, this answers my question. I will be mindful of this in future as I am building features.
