Scenario Permissions

There are permissions that must be granted in RateManager before users can start working with scenarios. You must have admin permissions to perform these tasks.

There are two set of permissions that can be applied;

• Scenario Manager Permissions: This user creates scenarios, adds program versions, and adds tables.
• Scenario Permissions: This user edits table data and default values.

Separate permissions keep the users from crossing over from a scenario view to a standard RateManager user.

Scenario Manager Permissions

To allow for the complete setup of scenarios, the scenario manager needs at least two sets of permissions. Additional permissions may be needed, depending on usage. Permissions are required if universals are to be used. To test updates or delete programs, the user needs Program Management for the product. Product permissions are required to edit and delete tables.

Set 1: Scenario Manager Admin permissions are required to create, edit, and delete scenarios. Permissions must be assigned at the group level. These permissions apply to all users assigned to the group.

Set 2: Product permissions for each of the products with program versions and tables that are to be included in the scenario are required. Product permissions allow for program versions and tables to be added to the scenario. The product permissions can be read only.

Set 3: OPTIONAL - Permissions are required if universals are to be used. To test updates or delete programs, the user needs Program Management for the product. Product permissions are required to edit and delete tables.

Admin permissions are required to edit Group Rights.

If scenario manager permissions are not given, scenarios will not be presented on the Program Explorer tab and the New Scenario option in the top bar menu will be grayed out. If product permissions are not given, an access denied message is displayed.
