Data Grant Group Considerations

As described in About Data Grants, there are two kinds of access groups within Profitability and Cost Management, predefined groups and native groups.

Note:

The following concepts are very important, particularly with respect to one-way inheritance of rights and privileges.

When creating native groups and associating them with predefined groups to assign privilege levels, the privileges must be inherited. Inheritance goes in only one direction, from parent to child.

Service Administrators can only assign predefined groups to native groups.

Native groups only offer Read access. It is not possible to provide Write access through native groups.

Service Administrators can continue assigning data grants to the predefined User role for Write access but all users assigned to the User role will receive Write access to the assigned data grant.
