Improved Access Level controls - Custom Fields

The ability to grant permissions to add a new field, delete an existing field, delete existing field not used, add list of values, remove/disable list of values.

Logic -- we typically have our "Super Users" the ability to create new custom forms and edit the fields. BUT I'd like the ability to limit what they can remove as it can impact other divisions.

Another case of an enhancement needed to support multiple groups. If you grant User A from Group X ability to create/modify custom forms and fields they can see and modify custom forms and fields for other groups. We have no way of locking down the custom forms to just the ones in a particular group. This leads to a high admin cost, since we cannot assume that users will not accidentally modify custom fields/forms that do not belong to them. Allowing admins to set access rights on custom data by groups would allow users the ability to self-help.

Thank you for the submission! We think this is a good enhancement to the Workfront platform overall and this product area in particular!

 

Workfront currently prioritizes large-scale, foundational enhancements such as the new Reporting experience and changes to the core data model, so this item does not fit in our near-term roadmap. As such, I am marking this as Declined now, but we'll keep this in our backlog for the improvements for this area so that we can revisit the decision in the future.

Status changed to: Declined
