Can I change the Timeout/Logout period from 30 minutes to 2 hours?
Hi team, right now an Anaplan session automatically times out if the end-user is inactive for 30 minutes. However, my users have complained that this is too short a time and too troublesome. Is there a way tenant admin can increase this time limit? Would be super helpful. Thanks Natasha

The Anaplan Python OAuth Example demonstrates using the Anaplan REST API with OAuth with device-based authorization. The code highlights how to generate a device_id, access_token, and refresh_token. Additionally, the code highlights a multi-threaded approach to request a new access_token while performing other,…
Subset for Versions
Adding subset to Time Ranges is of great help. On the same line, there should be an option to create subsets for versions. In our use case, we have 5 versions (Plan, Actuals, Custom 1, Custom 2, Custom3). We want to use different sets of versions for different modules based on the requirement. Current functionality gives…
CloudWorks - Model to Model Processes
I am trying to schedule automated Model-to-Model processes using CloudWorks so that it doesn't have to be done manually by a human. What I've noticed is some of my Actions within the automated Process don't run properly when CloudWorks runs it vs. when I manually run it. It seems that Cloudworks, "Internal (Full Access)",…
Python API - 401 - 'Auth scheme not supported - AnaplanCertificate'
Hi all, I tried to use the certificate authentication method with the Python API. I used one of the many Python scripts provided but I get a 401 Response : 'Auth scheme not supported - AnaplanCertificate'. Do you know if it is required to enable the Anaplan certificate authentication method somewhere in order to use it ?…
Full deletion of historic users in Tenant Admin
Hi, currently within Tenant Admin, this shows all the users who have ever had access to your Workspaces. You can disable them on Tenant, and delete their licence within the main Anaplan platform for your Workspaces, but you can't currently fully delete these users on Tenant (as far as I'm aware!) I would like the ability…

Guidelines for model impacts when removing a user from a workspace
Removing a user from a workspace There are two different ways to prevent a user from seeing and accessing models: You can set the user's model role to "No Access." This is set on a model-by-model basis and will prevent the user from seeing the model on the Tiles screen, as well as completely preventing the user from…
Community perspective: Monitor activity in your models using an action log
Model actions are a useful tool when it comes to automating routine tasks in Anaplan. They enable a wide range of applications such as data integration, list management, or model maintenance. To keep track of action-related activity in a model, we can rely on the Start Date and Time (UTC) column in the Actions pane: A…
Show History for Line Items (Formula, etc)
Anaplan allows users to quickly see cell change history for a given cell, which is great. As a model builder, I'd love to have a similar functionality to easily Show History for line items - formula changes for sure, but ideally also changes in format, dimensions, and summary methods, along with the name of the user making…
Model history api endpoint
As a integration admin, i d need to be able to access to the model history through an api endpoint and in the model This is required in order to - listen to models actions and check if / whenservicess outside anaplan should be triggered - extract for audit purposes the history of anaplan model and expose it to auditors or…
Can a user with read-only access still approve things in the UX?
Trying to use ALM when Write access driver exists
hi I get the following error when I try to use ALM, and have a write access driver. "An internal error occurred while preparing the structural changes for synchronization.

User Access Management: Part 2 - This is how we do it
At Anaplan, we are using Anaplan internally for many of our business processes; this is how we set up our User Access Management. 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…

Need dashboard or ability to audit number of read and write licence in tenant Admin view
Team, We struggle to keep track of how many still write licenses we are left with while granting write privilege to a user, against approved /purchased license. Though there is no hard stop from anaplan yet, we don't want to cross our limits and end up paying penalty. Rather it will be easier for us to provide dashboard in…
Allow Time Ranges to move dynamically in relation to the Model Calendar
Currently when creating a time range you select the start of the range and then the number of periods. When you come to roll over the model to a new year those Time Ranges need to be reviewed to see whether they also need to be rolled forward. What I would like is the ability to decide whether the start of a time range is…
Log Model Mode changes in Audit Logs and Model History
When a user changes the mode of a model i.e. from Standard Mode->Deployed Mode, Standard Mode->Archived Mode etc, it would be useful to have this event logged in the Anaplan audit logs and the model history logs. This would be useful in identifying which user has changed the model mode especially when a deployed model is…
Copy models from a workspace to an empty workspace
I’d like to copy the two models from the source workspace to the target workspace. The target workspace is empty. Turns out without anything contained inside the target workspace, the target doesn’t show up in the list of workspaces when I try to use the Import feature in Manage Models. What is the solution to that problem?
How do I audit a specific line item that is used for DCA access?
Hi, I am trying to trace all line items in a model that reference a specific line item in a specific module for DCA access. Is there a function in Anaplan that allows you to do this?
Dependent Context Selectors Workaround?
I need to enable dependent context selectors. For example, different Stores sell different combinations of Product Categories: Store A sells Widgets and Store B sells Widgets and Oodles. Using context selectors, I want the Widget manager to switch between stores, but only see Widgets in the Product Category selector. I…
Add user model role and selective access changes in Hypercare report.
It would be good to be able to view user model role change logs in Anaplan Hypercare report. This is usefully for system and SOX audit to identify users that have gained access to Full Access role which is generally considered Privilege access.
Model copy & archiving before any synchronisation
Before any synchronisation, the model should be copied and archived automatically so if something wrong happens we have a back-up. Benefit: not loosing all your data when you have synchronised after having changed a list from structural to production
Dynamic Time ranges
Hi Team, I have seen similar ideas already suggested about this topic, but are a little bit too specific in my view. So I hope this one is perceived as useful by the community. ISSUE: At the moment, Anaplan's time ranges are static, which means that they will contain the same set of years while your current period and…
User provisioning
We know how good it feels when you start exploring Anaplan on your own. One very important area that needs special attention from you is the Users section in Anaplan. This is the section where you add users into Anaplan or remove users from Anaplan. There are other things as well that you can do in the Users section, but I…
NEW UX HOME PAGE - Set background and themes to suit organisation
Hi Anaplan, I have just started using the new UX HOME screen and thought of some developments to make it more customisable. The UX HOME screen could benefit from more customisation options to suit customer themes then being generic. - Set the HOME screen theme colours of banners and icons / tiles - Set the HOME screen…
Excel Add-In: Module Security/Restriction
When using the Excel Add-In, there is currently no way to restrict a module from being pulled into Excel if a user is provided access to that module. We have multiple users whose roles require them to view confidential data within Anaplan, but they should not have the ability to export the data out of Anaplan. Within…
Can't submit another request
A user that has workspace admin access submitted a few requests and then Anaplan no longer allowed them to submit another request. This user still has full access as a workspace admin and no DCA has been activated for them. Any suggestions?
