Dear All,
Have you encountered the following scenario? I have access control table as the below:
| user name | Company | BU | Remark |
| soldier | AMC;IT | GZ;HZ;CD | The guy can see the data of GZ under the AMC & HZ, CD under the IT(company AMC and IT both contains GZ BU...) |
| After conversion | |||
| user name | Company | BU | |
| hualong.liu | AMC | GZ | |
| hualong.liu | AMC | HZ | unexpected |
| hualong.liu | AMC | CD | unexpected |
| hualong.liu | IT | GZ | unexpected |
| hualong.liu | IT | HZ | |
| hualong.liu | IT | CD | |
| Expectation, actually I can make the access form like that directly | |||
| user name | Company | BU | |
| hualong.liu | AMC | GZ | |
| hualong.liu | IT | HZ | |
| hualong.liu | IT | CD |
So, how to set up permission control(RSL) when different BUs have the same department - BU?
Meanwhile, if the guy need to access all BU, how you set it? put * in BU column? Thanks for any suggestions
Best Regards,
Soldier

Hi @v-chenwuz-msft ,
Thanks for your reply. However, the slution as your mentioned, which can't covert this situation as we have the below scenario.
| soldier | AMC;IT | GZ;HZ;CD | The guy can see the data of GZ under the AMC & HZ, CD under the IT(company AMC and IT both contains GZ BU...) split by ";" and change to row. |
Based on it, we dont want to let the guy to see the HZ data under AMC. Because the above access setting will show 6 records....
The first user name should similar with the below "hualong.liu". please ignore my mistake. Thanks
