Permissions needed to access plans and initiatives

Access Levels work together with permissions in Workfront to give you visibility into plans and initiatives that you did not create. In addition to having the correct access level to access the Scenario Planner, you must also have the correct permissions to the plan that you want to view or manage, if you are not the creator of those plans.

All users, including system administrators, have access only to plans that they created.

To view plans that other users created they must share their plans with you in the following ways:

NOTE
When a user is deactivated, their plans have no owner and cannot be accessed unless previously shared with a link.
