Section access with multiple values not working

[sifatnabil]

Hi all,

I have a section access table in Excel like this:

ACCESS	NTNAME	REGION	REGIONLOG	REGIONX	PRODUCT	PRODUCTX
ADMIN	ICAP\QVSERVICE	*	*	*	*	*
ADMIN	GLOBAL\SIFAT	EMEA	EMEA	EMEA	ASIA	EMEA - ASIA
ADMIN	GLOBAL\SIFAT	EMEA	EMEA	EMEA	CNH	EMEA - FWDS
ADMIN	GLOBAL\SIFAT	EMEA	EMEA	EMEA	ASIA	EMEA - FWDS
ADMIN	GLOBAL\BISHOP	*	*	*	*	*
ADMIN	GLOBAL\BISHOP-A	*	*	*	*	*

None of these fields intersect. For example, the PRODUCT=CNH is under REGION/REGIONLOG/REGIONX='EMEA'

The section access works fully for my normal account GLOBAL\SIFAT (and I've tested by changing my product and seeing the change work), however, for the other users, they only sees 3 products instead of all 7.

Why would section access work for my user but not the other users? Does it have something to do with * ? The issue seems to be that no one can see all products despite having * against them.

The * in section access means all listed values in the section access table. You can e.g. add a dummy user with a line for each product to make sure all products are listed in the access table

This one is for your reference.

Data Reduction Using Multiple Fields

Correct.

Section Access will not go looking in other related fields in Section Application for any additional field values. A * refers only to the values listed in the SA table.
