Hi,

I wanted to know what the difference was between the following security:

Workflow Execution and Workflow Access.

Can someone please help.

Workflow Access grants view access to a workflow.  A person can navigate to that workflow and view information, but not take any action like inputting to forms, running consolidations, importing data, etc.

Workflow Execution will allow a user to navigate to the workflow (WF Access also needed) and import data, validate and map data, load data to the cube (assuming scenario and entity write access), run other processes attached to the workflow, use workflow forms for input, etc.

More info can be found in the D&R Guide as shown below:

Hi,

Thank you ever so much.

Do you also know what write access means. As can not see that in the attached screenshot.

Thank you.

In order for a user to modify data (meaning load to cube, input to forms, run a consolidation, etc), there are several pieces of security required:

  1. ModifyData App Sec Role
  2. Access to the Cube
  3. Write Access to particular entities
  4. Write Access to particular scenarios

This is in addition to Workflow Access and Workflow Execution, alr

The user may also need rights to data management sequences if the Workflow has a process step that runs a data management sequence.  So there may be more needed but the above are the basics required to modify data.
