We have just determined another 'feature' in subject tool. Details: Column BG of '02 CTM-People', located in People.xls, designates 'Unrestricted Access'. Column is NOT color-coded, and specifically labelled optional; further instructions declare, it must be entered as "0" or "Yes" if used. We imported ca 250 users to various companies/organizations in a multi-tenancy environment, leaving this column blank (and re-checking the *.csv to make certain it was, indeed, blank!).
To our surprise, these users were created with Unrestricted Access in their USER record, even though CTM:People displayed the related box as unchecked-- in fact, CTM:People showing no groups at all. Further, the import/promote scheme did NOT assign the expected 'Global Access' group--with its attendant 'modify field' disconnects. I do realize that our importation of people intending to make them support staff, without creating templates first, is inconsistent with instructions for this product. <pseuo-rant> On prolonged usage, this product reminds me of a frequent note I've heard, as aircrew, from air traffic controllers: "Aircraft ZZ, cleared for takeoff. Caution, wake turbulence from departing <heavy jet>, parallel runway, one mile in lead". Aircrew is legal for takeoff, all right, but CRAZY to actually use that clearance without waiting at least three minutes for the wake turbulence to settle! </pseudo-rant> Don W. McClure, P.E.
