Mass Delete / update of user assignments in selective access.

Hello Anaplanners,

 

For one of our customers we have a requirement to dynamically update the selective access permissions to users. As I understand we can only import into Anaplan Users. I tried importing blank data into Users tab for list permissions but it still retains previous data. Further we cannot create a delete action for the users.

 

Any help in this area will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nayeem

  • Hi @abdul.nayeem 

     

    An alternative method could be to import the 'model role' as 'no access' which clears all selective access and then import the selective active permissions you require. 

     

    I hope this helps!

     

    Thanks,

  • Hi,

     

    You can set up an import in the Users settings (from a dashboard/file/API) to create new users and modify their roles and selective accesses (also access to several items of the same list); you can't delete users or grant admin access.

    To remove the selective accesses, you should give the user "No Access" and then update it with the new information.

  • follow Rob's guide.
    Quick addition to it:
    - never include yourself (the person running the action) in the process
    - setting user to no access kicks them out, don't do it during a day's work
