Display of Selective Access-enabled Numbered Lists

zafkamar

Although not ideal, sometimes it's required to enable selective access on a numbered list.  First of all, you should be able to import comma-delimited text-formatted codes into the Users list to assign the appropriate list members to each user.  Short of that, Anaplan requires that you go into the numbered list and select the users that should be enabled with access to each member.  After all that is completed, in the User Settings only show the Anaplan unique ID (#54, #29, etc.) of each list member that is provisioned to each user.  I would like to see the display name of that unique ID, for clarity purposes.

We have the same issue and request with our clients as well.  @Miran, could you please let me know if there has been any updates or progress made on this issue?

Agreed - would be beneficial to display something that is understandable, rather than #Number.

This will be very useful

Totally agree, especially when there are large numbers of users, it is very time consuming to check each number

Export User Access with Display Names of Selective Access Lists (if Numbered)

AndreyPol

Sep 8, 2019

If in the system Selective Access is set to Numbered List, when you export User Access list, all items are shown as #NAME instead of display name.

 

Currently, on quarter basis we are preparing current user access lists to provide to responsible people. An it takes a lot of time to manually replace #NAMES with Display one, since otherwise the list is not understandable for people.

 

Being an Anaplan user, I would like to be able to select the type of name to export case of Selective Access set to numbered list (either Display Name or Real name).

 

Benefit: since we have a quarter based access review and have to provide a current view of accesses to business users, it will save a lot of time when need to replace #name with Display Names.

Has anyone had any luck with this? We have a quarterly review where we export the User Settings as a CSV, then reimport them into a central user access review model. But after converting our core hierarchies into a numbered list (due to duplicate naming on certain levels) it now includes the #XXX instead of the Display Name or code, which doesn't make sense for the final reviewer.

It wouldn't be as much of a problem but our accesses are very granular and 1 user could potentially have upwards of 50 separate list items that all come out as the #XXX numbers, and all at multiple levels in the hierarchies.
