When you set up Access Rights for Scenarios, you’re ensuring that only specific users have the appropriate level of access to view and modify Scenario data within your Workspace. Because you are configuring access rights according to Role, you control who can read, write, or simply have no access to specific Scenarios. This helps to maintain data security and confidentiality, as well as encouraging collaboration and efficiency in Scenario planning and in decision-making processes.
 

You have two options to set up Access Rights for each Scenario. The first option is at the Application level, within the Roles, Permissions, and Access page. Here, you configure Scenario restrictions on a role-by-role basis for the application. The other option is at Scenario level, accessible through the Scenarios management page in the Application Settings.

In the Application Settings, you will be able to define the access rights for each Scenario for all Roles in the application including the Admin role. The Admin Role Scenario access rights is not configurable through the Roles, Permissions, and Access page within the application.

Here’s how you can set up and update Access Rights on your Scenarios:
