to save the changes.

Creating Company Exceptions

It is possible not to specify any company exceptions, for example: when a resource name requires access to all companies or if there is only one company in the system.

If a resource name requires access to 5 specific companies (B,C,D,E and F) and there are seven companies in the system (A,B,C,D,E,F and G) there are two ways that this can be configured:

  • Option 1: Set the Default Rule to <Associate with All Companies> and specify the two companies to be excluded with the resource name (A and G)

  • Option 2: Select the Default Rule to <Associate with No Companies> and specify the five companies that resource name is to be associated with (B,C,D,E and F)
