Which component is controlled by user access levels in Adaptive Planning?

User access levels in Adaptive Planning primarily determine the permissions and capabilities each user has within the system. The user security component is crucial because it dictates who can view, edit, and manage various elements of the planning environment.

By controlling user security, organizations can ensure that sensitive information is adequately protected and that users can only interact with the data and workflows that are relevant to their roles. For example, a financial analyst may only need access to budgeting and forecasting modules, while a senior manager may require broader access to review and approve these plans. This selective access is essential for maintaining data integrity and governance within the platform.

The other components, while important, do not directly hinge on user access levels in the same way. While approval processes and the flow of approvals may involve user permissions, they are more about the framework in which approvals occur rather than the foundational security access that defines the interactions users have within the system. The chart of accounts, on the other hand, refers to the organization of financial accounts and is not controlled by user access levels in terms of visibility or interaction, although users may have permissions related to how they can interact with this data.
