The specified Unit groups appear in a flat list, at the top of the benchmark dropdown, when a user does not have already have access to all the units of the specified unit group. Otherwise, when the user has access to all the units in the group, and the unit is not a parent node, the unit appears at the bottom of the list with all the other units to which the user has access.

The All Units selection at the top of the dropdown contains only the units to which the user has access (not truly all units). The label can be changed to be something like Your Units through translations.

User Activities

User Activities

Important: When this permission is active, the permission filters includes the following conditions:

  • Org Hierarchy in case without OHF — At least one unit associated with one of the configured Company Member Unit fields is contained in the set of visible units defined by the reporting user data-access. This includes e_user_activity_units in Company Member Unit fields and matching using other multi-valued company member unit fields present in the user's data-access.
  • Org Hierarchy in case with OHF — This matching is similar to the one done using the reporting user data-access in the case of surveys. The unit groups available for matching are those dumped as Org Hierarchy for e_user_activity_units and the Org Hierarchy associated with multi-valued unit fields.
  • Survey field conditions — If the reporting user has a condition on single-valued survey fields, no matching record is obtained because those field conditions are not dumped. Additionally, if a field is not present in the user's data-access definitions, those surveys are discarded.
