Introduction of Information Access Control in AFCS

Information Access Control (IAC) provides a flexible and scalable framework for managing user-level access to data within our reporting and analytics systems. IAC enables administrators to define, at both a global and dimension-specific level, which users are permitted to view specific data elements (such as products, legal entities, or custom dimensions), directly supporting fine-grained row-level security.

With IAC, mapping tables define user entitlements for each dimension and dimension member, and enable or disable access centrally. When IAC is enabled for a dimension, users see only the data members they are authorized to view.

• Data Security: Helps ensure that each user only sees the data relevant to their authorization, supporting compliance with data privacy and security regulations.
• Operational Efficiency: Reduces manual effort for IT and administrators by offering centralized, table-driven security management with clear on/off controls for each dimension and globally.
• User Experience: Automatically adapts the data users see based on their assigned permissions—no need for custom reports or manual filtering.
