Roles, Authorised Attribute Segments & Manager Access
How Roles, AAS & Manager Access work in the user data uploader
Category: User Data | Type: Overview of Roles & Manager Access
What you'll find in this guide
Roles
Roles should be listed in the 'Roles' column of your upload file. Each role should be separated with a comma. An example Roles cell might look like:
Employee,Manager - Surveys,Manager - Answers,Manager - Recognitions
No Update
There's no need to list all roles every time you upload your data. If there are no changes to manager or admin permissions, you can simply input {NO_UPDATE} to both Roles and Authorized Attribute Segments.
Updating access in the platform
The uploader can be used to update access in bulk, but don't forget you can use the user section of your platform to update access. Simply find the user you'd like to update, click '...' -> 'Edit user' -> 'Access' tab.

Authorised Attribute Segments
The Authorised Attribute Segments (AAS) column is used to signify which attributes and segments in your Hive the manager can see.
The format for these strings is Attribute:Segment
You can combine multiple attributes and segments using a comma. For example, Department:IT+Location:Newcastle
An example of giving access to multiple attributes and segments: Division:HR,Division:HR+Location:*,Division:HR+Department:*
- All segments are case sensitive
- Spaces are taken into consideration, only use spaces in segment or attribute names
- If your segment name includes commas (example 'HR, People & Communication' - you must surround the segment name in double quotes, so, "HR, People & Communication"
- * means all segments under that attribute
- All access must be specified in the string, if you only include one attribute and segment that is all the user will see
The Authorised Attribute Segment column in your file should be named 'Authorized Attribute Segments'
