About Single-Position Access Control

You can associate a single position to individual data. For example, in the My Quotes view, an employee logged in using a particular position can see only the quotes associated with that position. Some other views that apply single-position access control are My Forecasts and My Quotes.

The word My is frequently in the titles of views applying single-position access control. However, My does not always imply single-position access control. Some My views apply personal, organization, or team access control. For example, the My Activities view applies personal access control.

A business component's view modes determine whether single-position access control can be applied in a view that is based on the business component. To have single-position access control available, a business component must have a view mode (usually Sales Rep) of owner type Position with an entry in the Visibility Field column (instead of the Visibility MVField column).
