Object Level Security "Reverse" Role
Hi JustDavid
If you have applied built-in restrictions on certain columns, non-HR users won’t be able to access them directly, which can sometimes cause errors in matrix visuals. To avoid this, you can either:
-
Remove the restricted columns from the matrix entirely for non-HR users.
-
Use role-based logic to conditionally display blank (e.g : Restricted) in those columns for unauthorized users.

Hope this helps,
Thank You.-
So if I understand you correctly, I have to list all employees except Mary, Jane and John to the 'All Amployee'?
If I were to do that, would these employees be able to see the matrix table that I created, with an exception of the columns that I have hindered them from vieweing?
Exactly ! non HR users will see the visual as long as the matrix don’t reference the hidden columns and if the matrix uses employee name or salary or any measure that reads them you will have that error because the all employees role since OLS makes those columns non addressable.
