How do I restrict reporting visibility using the ResponsibleUser.csv file, when visibility control is enabled?

You can use the following two parameters for visibility control purposes:

• Application.Approvable.OrganizationalVisibilityPartitioning: Specifies whether the visibility control feature is enabled. The default value is false. The visibility control feature restricts the visibility of data like suppliers, approvers, and documents in searches and reports based on a user's responsible purchasing unit assignments. (Buyer)
• Application.Analysis.BuyerReportingVisibilityControl: Specifies whether or not a user's ability to view procurement data in reports is controlled by that user's association with purchasing units. Specify a value of true to use procurement visibility control for data. (Sourcing)

Please contact Ariba Customer Support if you would like to enable either of these parameters in your site.

Please see the Ariba Purchasing Unit Administration Guide for more details about configuring responsible user assignments and the ResponsibleUser.csv file.

Important: When Application.Approvable.OrganizationalVisibilityPartitioning is disabled, make sure to also disable Application.Analysis.BuyerReportingVisibilityControl.

• In case Application.Approvable.OrganizationalVisibilityPartitioning parameter is enabled, users who need unrestricted access can be assigned your top-level purchasing unit, All.
