Can we restrict user to create a public version in SAC planning?

[saikhancs35]

Hello,

I have a scenario where requirement is that, all users who has planning license should not be able to create a public version whereas they can create a private version, enter some value and publish the data in one of the public version which is already present in the model?

I checked the roles, but not able to find a proper role which fulfill this requirement. Let me know in case someone has any idea about this.

Hi ,

Not sure what is happening here, but i would like to understand the behavior of roles here.

When i uncheck the "execute" option of publish content, user is still able to publish the data from the top button of publish content in the story.

But when I uncheck the option of "manage" in Public files, then user is neither able to create public version nor he is able to publish the content to any public version. 

 Can someone explain here what is happening.

Thanks,

Saif

Hi saikhancs35 ,

  You can remove the 'Maintain' right for the version dimension of that model from role definition. Without this right, user can't create a new empty public version or publish a private version as a new public version, but user still can plan and publish on existing public version. 

Best regards, William

Hi William, Thanks for the response. 

I tried this option, but my scenario is like a user should create their own blank or copy private version and then they will share that version with some approver. If the approver is approved the amount which is filled , then the private version should be published to a existing public version.

But the person who is creating a private version should not be able to create a public version.

Thanks,

With mentioned setting, user can create a private version and publish to an existing public version.

Hi William,

This is not working as expected.

I tried to disable the managed option for the version dimension used in the model, but still it is allowing me to create a blank public version.

To restrict that, i tried to uncheck the manage option of Public Files but in that case user can create empty private version but not able to publish it on existing or new public version.

Please let me know, if there is any other possibility.

Thanks,

Saif

I'm not sure what is missed in your setting. Without version maintain right, user should not be able to create public version in version management.
