Set up limited visibility for many users

You can define the same limited visibility settings for many users. For example, if your company has several offices, and you want to separate the view so that the employees access only the investment information of their office’s clients.

In this case, the users' contacts should be linked to the clients or portfolios they need to access via an intermediate contact in FA. All users linked to the intermediate contact will have access to the clients and portfolios that are linked to this contact.

Note

Before you start the setup, make sure the user roles and rights are set up correctly. The users must have roles that include ROLE_ELV right, as well as the rights that provide access to the functionality. The rights must not in conflict with the limited visibility feature. For details, see Rights.

  1. Create a contact for the user in FA Back (if it doesn’t exist yet).

    Click NewNew contact in the top menu, fill in the fields, and click Save and close.

  5. Add the intermediate contact to the contact or portfolio you want the users to access:
