Roles define access to which element?

• A. Modules
• B. Lists
• C. Cells
• D. Users

Answer: (A)

Roles determine who can access an entire module and what they can do within it. In Anaplan, a user is assigned to a role, and that role specifies the level of permission (such as view or edit) for each module in the model. Because modules are the organizational units that contain the data and calculations, the security boundary is set at the module level. Lists and cells are parts of the module structure or data, and access is governed by the module’s permissions rather than by granting access directly to those elements. Users themselves are the subjects who receive access through roles, not the target of access controls.
