Stricter Permission Control for Extended Fields Derived from Employee Cost Information

Extend standard access control for extended fields and custom calculations derived from employee cost information.

By default, the access control rules for the operands used in a custom calculation apply to the custom calculation. A user can view custom calculations and other extended fields only if this user can view the standard fields, custom fields and extended fields used as operands in the extended field. Until now, the standard access control behavior did not apply to the following standard calculated fields derived from employee cost information. This feature extends standard access control so that users can only see the following fields and custom calculations using any of these fields as operands if their role allows them to view the relevant employee cost information.

• Projects – Projected cost [rules]

• Projects – Projected cost of unbillable hours [rules]

• Projects – Projected billing margin [rules]

• Projects – Projected billing [rules]

The following role permissions are supported:

• View all user costs

• View primary loaded cost

• View secondary loaded cost

• View tertiary loaded cost

• View and modify user cost

Note:

This extended access control currently does not apply to renamed built-in summary fields based on any of the extended field listed above, and any custom calculations using these renamed built-in summary fields.

The Stricter Permission Control for Extended Fields Derived from Employee Cost Information feature is enabled by default. To disable the feature, contact OpenAir Customer Support.
