About Site Filtering in ACA

Site filtering in ACA is achieved by specifying a value in the Site Reference Key for a record. Users must have privileges for the relevant site to access records with a specified site. Users can be assigned to one or many sites. They will be able to view global data, as well as view data for each of the sites to which they are assigned.

Site filtering behavior is applied to all areas where data is handled in ACA including data loaders, asset hierarchy, global search, and queries throughout the ACA module.

In ACA, site filtering affects the following records:

Example: ACA RecordsClosed

Consider a user who has access to Site X, Site Y, and Site Z. The user creates an analysis, ACA 1, which is not assigned to any site. ACA 1 is a global record, and contains the following records:

Scenario 1: User assigned to only Site X

When a user who is assigned to only Site X views ACA 1, he or she will see the following records:

The records for Site Y or Site Z will not appear for a user assigned to Site X. The user sees data for the assigned Site X.

Scenario 2: User assigned to Site X and Site Y

When a user who is assigned to Site X and Site Y views ACA 1, he or she will see the following records:

The records for Site Z will not appear for a user assigned to Site X and Site Y. The user sees data for both the assigned sites as well as global data.

Scenario 3: Super User

If a Super User views ACA 1, he or she will see the following records:

IMPORTANT: A Super User can change the site to any of the sites that the user has permission for or choose to make the ACA record as a Global Record, so that all the GE Digital APM users can see it.
