Access Group Options

The following options are available:

  • Enable export to Excel: allows the user to export any chart data to Excel sheet. By default, this option is disabled.
  • Enable row-level security: contact technical support to configure this option.
  • Update chart templates and box styles: allows the user to modify chart and box styles.
  • Limit chart access to self + subordinates: users in this group are restricted to viewing only their own branch of the org chart.

Tips and Tricks

  • If an access group is deleted, all users assigned to that access group will no longer have access to any folders.
  • Be careful when granting access to the 'Trash' folder as it may contain sensitive data.
  • Make sure to lock the folder containing your production charts (so that read/write users cannot accidentally modify).
