Import Organization Access

Field Header Name

Required/Comments

1

A

Username

ALWAYS REQUIRED. Unique username (user id), for example JDoe or jdoe (it does not need to be capitalized.)  This value must match an existing Username value defined in your system.  If the Username you are trying to import does not already exist in the database,  the entire record will be rejected.

2

B

Role

ALWAYS REQUIRED.  This field will indicate to which user role you are defining access permissions.  If the user you are attempting to import organization access permissions to does not have the role specified in this field, the entire record will be rejected.

The valid values include:

Standard Roles

• billingManager

• billingViewer

• contactManaer

• contactViewer

• HRAdministrator

• manager

• projectManager

• projectViewer

• resourceAssigner

• resourcePlanner

• resourceRequestor

• viewer

Financial Roles

• apPoster

• apUser

• apViewer

• arPoster

• arUser

• arViewer

• glPoster

• glUser

• glViewer

• glBudgetManager

resourceManager - beginning with version 9.3, this role is no longer recognized within Unanet.   It was replaced by two new roles.  For backward compatibility, if this role is encountered in this import, it will be substituted with both the resourcePlanner and resourceAssigner roles.  This substitution will be discontinued in a future version so measure should be taken to being using the two new roles.

Note that you can only include one role per import record line.  If you need to define organization access permissions for an individual user for more than one role, you will need to add several lines to the import file.

C

Access_Type

ALWAYS REQUIRED. This field will indicate which type of organization association is being created.  The valid values include (case does not matter):

• Contact (only valid w/ Role = contactManager or contactViewer)

• Person  (only valid w/ Role = HRAdministrator, manager, viewer, resourceAssigner or resourcePlanner)

• Project  (only valid w/ Role = billingManager, billingViewer, projectManager, projectViewer, resourceAssigner, resourcePlanner or resourceRequestor)

• Owning (only valid w/ Role = billingManager, billingViewer, projectManager, projectViewer, resourceAssigner, resourcePlanner or resourceRequestor)

• Financial (only valid w/ Role = apPoster,apUser,apViewer,arPoster,arUser,arViewer,glPoster,glUser,glViewer or glBudgetManager)

D

Org_Access

ALWAYS REQUIRED.  This field is used to identify which organizations the user will have access to.  Valid values for this field include:

• !ALL! -- When this option is used, it should be the only value specified in this field.  This value will indicate that no specific list of organizations needs to be populated, and the users may have access to all organizations.  

• !NONE! -- When this option is used, it should be the only value specified in this field. This entry will indicate that the user has access to no specific organizations.  

• Comma separated list of Organization Codes --  Specify one or many Organizations codes (People or Project organizations depending on the Role/Access Type for this record) you wish to grant access. The Organization Code values must match an existing Organization Code value defined in your system.
  
  Hierarchical Organization Note: When identifying specific organizations, note that all children organizations are automatically included when you select a parent organization, thus it is not necessary to include all organizations if you have a defined organizational hierarchy -- you simply need to include any parent organizations.  Should you include both a parent and child organization within the same tree branch, the child entry will be ignored as it will be implicitly  included along with all other children of the imported parent org.

Important Update Note: If an entry already exists for this user / role / access type combination, any existing entries will be removed and replaced with the newly imported record.  For example, if your intention is to add an additional organization to the list of allowable organizations, you would not want to simply run an import with one entry -- but instead, import a record that had all of the previous entries plus the new entry.  You can get a listing of existing roles via the organization access export screens.

E

Legal_Entity_Ind

This field is intended to be used with the Unanet Financials functionality.  When the Access_Type field is "Financial", then this field will determine whether the Selected Orgs are of type "Selected Legal Entities" or "Selected Financial Organizations", and the list of organizations in the Org_Access field must be Financial Organizations (active and inactive allowed).

Valid values include "Y" (indicating the current entry represents "Selected Legal Entities" and the system will enforce that those organizations specified in the Org_Access field are Legal Entities) or "N" (indicating the current entry represents "Selected Financial Organizations").

If no value is specified in this field, the validation will be based on the value currently associated with the user's existing record in the system.
