Control fact sheet self-subscriptions through permissions

DATE:
AUTHOR: SAP LeanIX Product Team

We have refined subscription permissions per fact sheet type to give admins precise control over which user roles can assign which subscription types. On the meta model configuration's "Permissions" tab, admins can now configure which subscription types users can create, update, delete, and read (where applicable) per role. This adds permission granularity for subscribing themselves and others.

Patterns like “Viewers may only subscribe as Observers and cannot assign Responsible or Accountable” prevent users from adding themselves as subscribers with higher privileges. To remove ambiguity, the self-subscription has been removed from "Advanced Permissions" and consolidated in the "General Permissions" section of each fact sheet type's permission configuration.

The updated permission management creates consistency across subscriptions and fact sheet attributes (fields and relations), avoiding partial overrides and ensuring permissions are enforced uniformly when individual field-level settings are unavailable. If you manage sensitive data on fact sheets, such as costs, these controls make it straightforward to restrict visibility and editing to Responsible or Accountable members only while limiting others to permitted summaries without exposing detailed costs. We recommend reviewing your role definitions and permissions to align subscription assignment rights with your operating model.
