Access Rules Retain Grant All Except Rules

Access Rules Retain Grant All Except Rules

To increase the efficiency of maintaining access rules, we improve the behavior and the display of the Grant All Except capability. For your convenience, we now maintain your rules exactly how you imported them, displaying the values you entered for Grant All Except in new columns for each secured dimension.
To improve efficiency, we also retain the Grant All Except values when you export the rules for maintenance. Retaining the Grant All Except values dynamically updates user access when you add more values to secured dimensions.

New Grant All Except Functionality for Access Rules List

Release: 2023-09-09
With the 2023R2 Release, we now retain the values in the new Grant All Except columns. Now, access rules look exactly how you created them, which enables you to review and maintain them with more efficiency in the:
  • Access rule list of the application when you go to Administration > Access Rules.
  • Access Rules Template spreadsheet when you export your access rules.

Improved Logic for Grant All Except Access Rules

Release: 2023-09-09
For a more intuitive experience, we enable access rules defined by Grant All Except columns to update logically. When you:
  • Add new values to secured dimensions, we now automatically grant those values. Example: A rule has the Engineering level listed in the Grant All Except column. When you add QA to the level structure, we automatically grant access to QA.
  • Reparent values to secured dimensions, we automatically restrict access to values that are reparented to levels listed in Grant All Except Column. Example: The rule lists Engineering in the Grant All Except column. The rule, therefore grants access to QA. When you make Engineering the parent of QA, the rule no longer grants access to QA.

New Method of Removing Secured Dimensions

Release: 2023-09-09
We now provide another way for you to remove secured dimensions. We changed the Add button in the toolbar to Manage, which now enables you to remove dimensions from the list in the dialog box as well as add dimensions. We also change the button in the dialog box from Add to Done.

Hide Blank Columns on the Access Rules Page

Release: 2023-09-09
Now that every secured dimension has both a Grant and Grant All Except column, we now enable you to simplify your view by hiding blank columns. We provide a new check box, Suppress Columns with No Values, to the dialog that opens when you click Manage from the toolbar.
