Summary : Explains how Sanplex controls Product access using permission groups and scope settings, and how Product privacy modes and whitelists determine who can view each Product.

This section explains the permission management and access control model for Products.

Whether a user can access a Product is determined by Product permissions and Product access control.

I. Managing Product Permissions

All permissions in Sanplex are maintained under Admin > Personnel Management > Permissions.

Product permissions can be configured through Permission Management and Scope Management.

1. Permission Management

Go to Admin > Personnel Management > Permissions. From the group list, click Permission Management on the right to open the permission configuration page.

On the Product View permission page:

  • Selecting a checkbox grants the permission.
  • Clearing a checkbox revokes the permission.

2. Scope Management

Scope Management complements Permission Management by quickly narrowing down the effective access scope.

In practice, Scope Management works like a switch:

  • Enabled (selected): Users can access Products only if the related Product permissions are also granted in Permission Management.
  • Disabled (cleared): Even if Product permissions are granted in Permission Management, users still cannot access Products.

Typical use cases for Scope Management:

  • In a customized delivery project, the customer also needs access to Sanplex and must be able to view specific Programs, Products, and Projects.
  • Customer users are placed into a dedicated permission group.
  • The group is granted relevant permissions for Programs, Products, Projects, and Executions, but customers must not see other public Programs/Products/Projects in the system.
  • You can explicitly list which Accessible Programs, Accessible Products, and Accessible Projects the customer group can access.
  • As a result, members of the customer permission group can only view the listed Programs/Products/Projects.

From Admin > Personnel Management > Permissions, click Scope Management on the right side of the group list to open the Scope Management page.

On the Scope Management page:

  • Accessible Views: selecting Product means the group is allowed to access the Product view. Actual access still requires related Product permissions granted in Permission Management.
  • Accessible Products: leaving it blank means there is no Product-level access restriction. If specific Products are listed, the group can access only those Products.
  • Viewable Product Activity: Product activities appear in the activity stream only when this option is selected.

II. Product Access Control

Products support the following access control modes: Private, Public, and Whitelist.

  • Private: Accessible to the Product Owner, Product Test Owner, Product Release Owner, stakeholders of the Program the Product belongs to, and members/stakeholders of associated Projects.
  • Public: Anyone with Product View permission can access.
  • Whitelist: Whitelisted users can also access the Product.
  • If Product A is Private and Project B is associated with Product A, then Project B’s team members and stakeholders can also access Product A.

When creating a Product, the default access control is Private, and you can configure a whitelist under private mode.

The Product whitelist shows users added when access control is Private. You can also add or remove users directly in the Product whitelist.
