Model Security

The Time data model includes Time security setup using functional roles.

Functional Role Security

Time security ensures that users can only see records based on their functional roles over employees and/or projects.

  • Users (or resource managers) should see records based on Functional Role(s) over Employee(s).
  • Users (or project managers) should see records based on Functional Role(s) over Projects(s).
  • If a user is both a Resource Manager and Project Manager they will see the combination of records based on these roles.

You can turn on Time security in Costpoint for use in the Times model. To do so, select Yes in the Enable T&E Model Security field in Manage BI Settings (BIMCERSETTINGS).

To limit the projects that users can view in reports, turn on Apply Charge Level Security in Manage Security Roles (ADMSECURITYROLE) in Costpoint. If this setting is off, the user can view all projects.

The functional role assigned to a user must also have View timesheet rights set for that functional role in Manage Functional Roles (ADMFUNCTIONALROLE).
