See Locked Accounts Due to Non-Successful Logins in Administration
We recently had a situation where a user 'locked' their account because they tried to log in multiple times with as a non-SSO user, by providing email address and password, when they were checked as a SSO user in our environment. The result was that their account was 'locked' on the Anaplan side, however we had no…
Selective Access on Flat List Subsets
Currently, selective access write permissions must be granted to a parent item for end users to modify an item's subset membership. In the case of a flat list, the items do not have a parent, which means users cannot modify the inclusion of these items in the subset. This has created challenges within my organization, as…
Enable MFA for SFDC Tab + Frontdoor
Customers who leverage the SFDC tab rely on MFA through SFDC. SSO is not enabled in the Anaplan platform as a result (or users are set as exception users if SSO is enabled). The consequence of this configuration is that end users have the ability to access Anaplan via the front door without any kind of MFA. This is a…

Copy and Archive Model
Team - Currently working on FP&A model and one of the tasks was to copy and archive the model.

Exposing this…

We want to be able to control who gets a welcome email stating that you're Active on Anaplan.

Re-Order Categories in NUX
As a Workspace Admin, I need the ability to re-order the categories that are created in NUX. As it stands right now it appears that they will auto-sort to Alphabetical order and/or Numerical order.

Export user list
Tenant Admins should be able to export a list of users (similar to how workspaces can be exported). You should also be able to export all attributes including userid/email address. When in Administration> Users you can enable and disable users, search and filter but there is no way to export the data.

Add a seperate role for End User Page Builder
We have a challenge that our end users cannot share (publish) views / reports (pages), because the risk is too high to assign the current Page Builder role to them. The Page Builder policy allows actions that could be detrimental to our business (I aware of recovery options but we prevent issues rather than resolve them).…
