Visit Report security model
Who can create? | Any sales can create a visit report and link it to any account he has visibility on | ||
Who can see? | 3 rules have been set up based on a field called “Visibility”: 1) If Visibility = “Shared” → any user can see the visit report, 2) If Visibility = “GBU Restricted” → only users having the same GBU in their user details than the GBU defined in the visit report can see the visit report. Users above these users in the role hierarchy inherit the rights. Users in the Visit Report Team can also see the Visit Report, 3) If Visibility = “Visit Report Team restricted” → only the Owner and the users in the “Visit Report Team” related lists can see the visit report. Users above these users in the role hierarchy inherit the rights. By default, a visit report will be created in “Shared” visibility mode. For confidential accounts, the visit report owner will manage the visibility manually. Depending on their content, to fit European Anti-Trust Laws, some Visit Report cannot be set as “Shared” and will automatically switch to “GBU Restricted”. Criteria leading to this behavior are based on Keywords and Products that can be configured for each GBU. To be able to add/edit a Product, the current user needs to be part of Visit Report Team or the following error friendly error will be displayed: "You need to be part of the Visit Report Team to be able to add or edit a product." | ||
Who can update? | The Visit Report | Who can update? | The Visit Report Owner, the users above him in the role hierarchy, the system administrator and finally the users Users added in the Solvay Contacts Visit Report Team related list (and the Users above them in the Role Hierarchy) |
Who can delete? | Only the System Administrators can delete a visit report |
