Important: When the 'Security to view risks' setting is switched ON, only the users with create and/or edit permissions for risks can view the relevant risk details. Create/edit privileges for the risk areas are based on the existing user permissions. This setting will be activated only upon request. If you wish to activate this setting, please contact our Support Team via the Riskonnect Success Portal (RSP)

    Further, Operational Users can NOT view Dashboard, Dashboard/EIS/Risk Analysis in the left-hand navigation bar (for Static Hierarchy only).

  • Action Owners can only update the risk actions which are assigned to them.

  • Executive Intelligence Permission will give a user access to the EIS and Analysis areas in the solution. The records displayed for each user under these areas can be found under the respective articles for these sections.
