Modernized Business Units

Hi All,

 

I need some help with the new Business Units feature.

 

I have a Model Driven App in which I changed a user to a different business unit and updated her security role to Parent Child Business Units level on all my custom tables (Read, Append, and Append To).

 

She can no longer see the records on the Lookup tables that someone else entered in the Original Business Unit. Therefore she can't enter any records that require a choice from a Lookup table.

 

Can someone help me set up security to allow a user to select Lookup records but not allow her to see non-Lookup records from the Original Business Unit?

Hello,

Your user can't see data from other business units.

This is likely a permissions problem. Check indigocard these things:

  1. User's permissions: Make sure they have the right access to see data from other teams.
  2. How data is connected: Ensure the data is linked correctly between the different business units.
  3. Custom rules or code: Sometimes extra settings can cause problems.

 

If you're still stuck, try creating a simple test case to see if the problem happens there too.

Let me know if you need more help!
