导入活动on should not ignore Selective Access for a Workspace Administrator

[AnaplanIdeas]

Description of the enhancement required:

Workspace admin with applied selective access to only one region had affected data in other regions because selective access does not work on Workspace admins.

An example of the enhancement:
As a workspace admin if I change my profile to only have access to a specific region, and then run an import, it clears the data for all regions but imports the data for only the region I have access to. It would be better if it either
1) (ideally) both cleared the data for the region I have selected and imported the data for the region I have selected
2) or both cleared the data for all regions (overriding the security settings) and imported the data for all regions (for the region I have selected)

How would it help your business process:
We may have people working in the model that are workspace admins alongside non-workspace admins. Other people working on their list would be confused to why their data was being modified.

As a "workspace admin" flagged user, I would like to have the behavior consistent with the security and roles set up to the user when it is launched an import action.

Currently, when a user is flagged as "workspace admin" if launches an import action can update data cells that the user does not have access (through "security selective access" or DCA flags).

I do not find any advantage that a user has the ability to update read-only data cells (or cells that the user does not have access) only because he/she is flagged "workspace admin". This is happening even the role associated with the user is other than "Full access".

Maybe this was implemented to have a high-level user to bypass the front-end restrictions, but, in my opinion, it is more important to have the user consistent with their role and security when using the front-end.

The "workspace admins" are consistent with their security and roles when they are using the front-end, except when they launch import actions. Why have this exception?

I hope it will be solved.

Thanks

Especially when you want to do testing of DCA, have to turn off the WA and then have it turned back on again. Very frustrating.

@Miran- want to link to this one:https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Idea-Exchange/Import-action-should-not-ignore-Selective-Access-for-...

[Miran]

Hi@andrewtye, are you looking to merge the two ideas? Thanks.

[andrewtye]

Hi@Miran- yes because they read very similarly albeit this one is slightly more wide ranging than the other ie takes into account user role/.

[Miran]

Hi@andrewtye, I've gone ahead and merged the ideas and kudos.

Just had this issue and wondered how it had happened...

I would like this change applied so selective access is effective on Actions.
