What does the term "Access to Dimension" refer to?

The term "Access to Dimension" specifically pertains to the permissions assigned to users regarding individual dimensions within the Workday Adaptive Planning environment. This concept is critical for managing and securing data because it allows administrators to control who can view or interact with specific dimensions in the planning model, such as departments, locations, or time periods.

When "Access to Dimension" is configured, it enables a fine-grained access control mechanism, allowing different users or user groups to have tailored views of the data relevant to their roles or responsibilities. This ensures that users can work effectively with the information they are authorized to see while maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive data.

This distinction is vital because it separates the specific access provisions from broader concepts such as general user permissions, rules for data visibility, or tracking user activity, which do not encapsulate the precise nature of dimension-based access control.
