Restrict Column Access by Role

On reporting pages, certain fields (columns) contain data that you may want to keep confidential, such as Birth Date. With Restricted Fields, the application or site administrator can control who has access to this data. By assigning specific roles to restrict access, only users with those roles will be able to view the restricted columns on the reporting page. These columns will be hidden from all other users. Additionally, any filter controls related to these columns will also be hidden on the Filter Options tab for users without the appropriate role. You can create a new role, such as FINANCE_RESTRICTED, or use existing roles. For users without the restricted fields role, the column will not appear in any exported documents (PDF, Excel, or XML). Restricted fields can be applied to any baseline or custom reporting page in FAST.
