The security setting in SAP allows managers only can see employee's data, who belongs to the managers organization.

<b>You need to configure the integration schema to "extract" these fields in order for them to be available to OrgChart. I believe the file is called downloadSchema.xml and is found in your build folder. It is <i>not</i> the one in the SAPExtractor folder (that is for Staged).</b><br/><br/>
2) Display future dated Organizational Structure in OrgChart<br/>
We also have requirement to display future dated OrganizationalStructure.<br/>
The future dated Organizational Structure should ONLY availablefor people from HR and executives.<br/>
How can we do this?<br/>
<br/>
<b>This is not possible as OrgChart only displays one version of the OrgChart (the present dated structure).</b>
<br/><br/>

- The security setting in SAP allows managers only can see employee's data, who belongs to the managers organization.<br/>
- The security setting in Nakisa OrgChart allows every employee can see all organizations and other related objects.

<b>Your bottom requirement is standard - unless you secure an item then every employee will be able to see all data.</b>

<b>In order to configure manager security you will need to undertake some XML configuration. This is not advisable unless you have experience of configuring the XML files, particularly with security as it is highly complex configuration. There are a couple of consultancies with specialist skills (Emeritis, ROC, Nakisa) that have the expertise to perform this type of configuration.</b>
<br/><br/>
<b>In order to do this you need to configure an authentication source and populate the user population and rolemapping sections of the LoginConfiguration_<type>.xml in the Authentication folder of your build. <type> refers to the type of authentication you are using (SAP logon forms, Portal integration with Logon Tickets etc). You will then need to map the roles in RoleMapping.xml in the Security folder of your build and then configure each role in Roles.xml. You need to create a hierarchyscope for each dataelement you are restricting data for and then add the security keyword to the sections in AppResources.xml that you are restricting with this particular scope.</b>
