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).…
Model Changes Tracking
Hello, Recently, I have been involved in a Model Building activities. Project has two teams. Original MBs and my team to take over. My question is : if there is a way to track who created a particular module, line item or applied changes? (Apart from "History" tab)
Anaplan Platform Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a method of confirming a user's claimed identity in which a computer user is granted access only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism: * Knowledge (something the user and only the user knows) * Possession (something the…
What is the best way to secure employee salary data to a central admin?
Hello - We are designing our first FP&A model and currently employee data is within that model. We would like only one person in the organization to be able to have access to all company salary data to keep detail by person secure to all other users. The issue we are running into is if you have a model builder role, you…
Embed python into looker
Is there a natural way to wrap Python code to display in Looker? The ideal dataflow for my problem is SQL DB->python-> looker, or alternatively, looker->python-> looker. I am hoping to embed a.py into lookML so that I can automate python analysis, ready to display in looker.
ALM explained—Part 1: compatibility

Disable User - Tenant Admin
Hi Team, I have disabled a User in Tenant Admin & was expecting that User to be switched to No Access in Models but they still have their original access in 1 of the Models I checked Do I need to turn the User off in every Model rather than at the Tenant Admin level? Thanks Mark

Add API Endpoints for exporting History, Users and Roles from the model
Hello! There are many opportunities in Anaplan API, but still there are possibilities for development. Me and my team think that it would be very convenient to be able to export model history, users page and roles page (accesses to modules, versions, actions, etc.). I know that it is possible to create export actions with…
UX - App Page Management Update
Looks like you no longer need to do app management at a super granular level (time consuming and frustrating) but can do it at a User Role level for add, delete, override. Not sure how long it's been live but have only noticed it in the last couple of days. Here's the Anapedia…
User Access Management: Part 3 - Practice makes perfect!
This is a detailed walk-through (and a downloadable link to a practice model!) that you can follow to get started on your UAM journey. Note that the examples here leverage the Bulk API for adding new users to models. If you have enabled the tenant-level option to Manage users in Administration only, then you will need to…
Data Write Actions and Model Roles access
Hi, I have a Data write action where the user should be able to write a date and its user in 2 line items. However, UX says she doesn't have permission to execute the action. My user's role has access to both lists and module where the data write action should be executed, and line items have not DCA in place. Line Items…
API to Provide Selective Access and Update Model Roles to Users
Hi all, just as the title suggested. I am looking for some Anaplan APIs to provision selective access to user and update their model role. I have come across SCIM API that work on Workspace level but can't seem to find one for Model level (or maybe I am missing something). Need some assistance regarding this. The ask is to…
History logs: Improve traceability for "bulk copy" actions
As a model builder, I would like to be able to identify with what parameters ("Source member" and "Target member") was launched a "bulk copy" action and when checking the cell history log in a module for an input cell, to have similar traceability in the detailed cell history log as there is for normal import actions: to…
New UX Idea - Hide empty categories for end users
Currently any user can see empty category either when there are some pages restricted for user's role or no pages at all. This can be irritating and I propose to hide those categories which are empty for users who do not have Page Builder role. In the example below there is a user with Supply Manager role who is not…
New UX - restrict access to multiple pages at once
Although we now have the ability to restrict access page by page in the new UX, it would be more efficient if there was a way to restrict access for multiple pages at once, and also if there were a way to be able to see the current restrictions on all pages.
Testing in Anaplan
Hi Friends, How do we do Unit Testing and System Integration Testing in Anaplan?
Hide drill-down by role
I would like to have the possibility to disable DRILL DOWN functionality for and end-user on a dashboard (classic) / board, in short, introduce this selection under the Menu Options. This functionality can be useful for modules using complex calculations in the background or third-party end-users.
ログイン後のタイムアウト設定について
ログイン後、Anaplanでの操作が10分以上ないと、自動的にタイムアウトされて、再度ログインを行うことが頻発しています。私は長らくISMSの事務局を担当していましたので、ログオフの設定は必要であり、無操作時間を短くしておくことは理解しています。当社は予実管理をAnaplanで行っているため、他のファイルを確認して登録することをしていると、いつの間にかタイムアウト、再ログインが頻発しています。タイムアウトの設定は、Professional Userに設定可能な権限を付与することは検討いただけますでしょうか。最小単位1分、最大単位30分、といったことができてくれば、私たちユーザー側にとってメリットが出てくるように思います。…
Initial Page based on Selective Access
When publishing a module on a dashboard you can specify an Initial Page, an item from Page Selector that will be selected once you reopen a dashboard. For reporting dashboards, I normally put it on Total level (Total Zones). If Selective access is enabled for the Zone list, and a user has access to a specific Zone, the…
Multiple Roles to a single User
Hi, of what I know, it's not yet possible in Anaplan to set multiple Roles to a single User within a model. This would be a very useful enhancement, since it's very often asked from customers. User A —> Role 1 User B —> Role 2 User C —> Role 1 and Role 2 In this moment the workaround is to create a different Role for User…
Create a Formula to Reference a User's Model Role
Dynamic cell access can be extremely challenging with long user lists, especially if you want a user's read/write abilities to be dependent on their model role. If we were able to reference a user's model role via a formula, we could create role specific criteria for dynamic cell access.
PSA: Deleted Models are no longer inaccessible to Workspace Admins
Anaplan introduced a new feature that allows for models that have been deleted to be restored by any workspace admin. This is wonderful for customers and partners to self serve when a model is deleted accidentally or needs to be restored and the hassle of going through Anaplan support/your BP makes it challenging or not…
Why does History show as <system user>?
can show up for a few reasons: [list=1] * When a model is first created the first entry in the History is * If Workflow is enabled on a list, any automatic change to workflow triggered by data changes will show up as . Eg. If a list item is set to workflow 'Not Started', any data a user enters into a cell relating to that…
selective access via formula's in module
Hi all, It would be helpful if we could control selective access via a sort of system module with booleans. This would allow a relatively standard import to update access that can be done by regular users if set up by the admin As well as enable some extended filtering capabilities and references per user to be made. all…

Ability to import archived model to a different workspace
We would like the ability to import a copy of a model that is archived in one workspace to another one of our workspaces. Right now, to get at an archived copy of one of our production models, we have to archive the current live model, bring back the copy, import over to another workspace, re-archive the copy, and bring…
Excel Add-In - Allow user to specify browser used for SSO authentication
Allow user to specify which browser to use as an option in Authentication settings for facilitating SSO sign on — even if default is embedded browser, having the flexibility to select a different option such as updated browser / default system browser will help instances where organizations restrict older browsers from…
Is there a way to change which browser is used by Excel Add-in for SSO authentication?
Using the latest Excel Add-in, it appears this is using an embedded version of Edge browser (version 95.x). Our organization has blocked this browser being used due to the age of the version. Is there a way to change which browser the Excel Add-in uses for SSO authentication so that it will use either system default…
