Scope groups
A scope group controls which rows of data its members can see — nothing more. For who can change data, see Ownership groups.
Wusool uses a strict-hide model for scope on Workbook rows and Restricted Dimensions:
A non-admin user sees only the rows covered by the scope groups they belong to. A user who is in no scope group sees nothing in Workbooks or Restricted Dimensions. The one exception is Open Dimensions — those stay visible, read-only, even to a user with no scope group at all. See Dimension visibility. Admins are not restricted by scope and see every row.
This is the mechanism behind “no per-Dimension role override” (see Roles). Roles decide what actions a user can take; scope groups decide which rows those actions apply to.
Criteria
Criteria can be inclusive (Region = Europe) or exclusive (Region is not Europe, which automatically covers any values added to the dimension later).
Create a scope group
- Go to
Settings > Groupsand clickAdd scope group. You need at least one Dimension first, because scope groups limit which dimension values members can see. - Name the group.
- Define its criteria, the dimension-value conditions that decide which rows members can access.
- Add members.
Adding and removing members
- Open the group you want to edit.
- Click
Add Members, search for users by name or email, select one or more, and confirm. - To remove someone, open the group, find their row, and click the remove icon.
Membership changes take effect immediately: members gain or lose row-level visibility as soon as they’re added or removed. Access a user holds through other groups, or through their role, stays unaffected.
Deleting a group
Open the group and click Delete Group. Members lose the row-level visibility that group provided. No user accounts are affected.
A group’s kind is fixed at creation. You can’t convert a scope group into an ownership group, or the other way around — create a new group of the right kind instead.
