Share a plan in the Scenario Planner

You can share a plan in the Adobe Workfront Scenario Planner with other users, so they can collaborate on the same work that you do.

TIP

If you send a link to a plan to others, you must also share the plan with them for them to be able to view it.

For information on requesting additional access to a plan, see Request access to a plan in the Scenario Planner.

*To find out what plan, license type, or access you have, contact your Workfront administrator.

Prerequisites

  • The users given permissions to the plan must have access to the Scenario Planner area in their Access Levels, as granted by your Workfront administrator, in order to receive permissions to a plan.

    For example, Requestors cannot view, create, or edit plans. You should keep this in mind when sharing a plan with a user who has a Requestor license.

Considerations about plan sharing

  • You can share a single plan, or you can share multiple plans, in bulk.
  • You cannot view plans that you did not create or that are not shared with you.
  • You can only share a plan with other users. You cannot share plans with groups, teams, or companies.
  • You must first save a plan before you can share it.
  • You can share a URL to a plan with another user. If the user does not have permissions to at least view the plan, they can request access to the plan from another user when they receive the URL. For information about requesting access to a plan, see Request access to a plan in the Scenario Planner.
  • When sharing multiple plans that have already been shared with others, the users you share with do not replace but are added to the existing users on each plan you selected.

  5. From the permissions drop-down menu to the right of the user name, select the level of permission you want to grant them to the plan.
