Grant access to Scenario Planner

As an Adobe Workfront administrator, you can use an access level to define a user’s access to Scenario Planner, as explained in Access levels overview.

In addition to access to Scenario Planner, a user with a non-System Administrator access level must also have access to financial data in order to see any financial information contained in a plan, such as budgets, costs, and job role rates.

  • View a plan when another user shares the link to it.

    This includes any job role information in the plan.

    It also includes job role rates and cost information on the plan if the recipient user also has access to financial data. For more information, see Grant access to financial data.

  • See the Scenarios icon in the Main Menu and use it to access plan data.
