What's the impact of using SA for a child list for getting filtered list items in dropdown?

AmanSharma

I have a 3-level hierarchy, where the parent top 2 parent list is selective access enabled. I want the bottom-most list to also have filtered dropdown based on its parent's selective accesses.

One way I was able to do it is by enabling selective access for the child list and enable Selective Access Boolean in the Line-Item Format while defining the list as the format for the line item. For the users they will always have some selective accesses in the top 2 parent lists, and there is no requirement to set any selective access for the last child list.

It fulfilled my target to have a filtered dropdown of the list based on selective access, but I want to know if there is any major impact of this workaround, in terms of performance or sparsity.

Hi @AmanSharma

Yes, There will be performance impact when you enable SA as Anaplan needs to check user permissions for every access to that SA enabled list and its items.

Instead of enabling SA to the bottom-most list to filter out based on its parent's selective accesses, we can select Filter "Dependent" option when formatting line item.

Let me know if my understanding of your question is wrong and you are looking for some other solution / Suggestion.
