Hiding of NDA Account in the organization.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working with a Dataverse security model based on Business Units. The model is intentionally quite open because salespeople often operate across the entire region.

Below is the simplified structure used in Dataverse .

 

Region South – Parent Business Unit

Subordinate BUs:

BU Italy

BU Spain

BU Portugal

 

Each country represents a separate legal company within the holding.

 

Example setup for BU Italy:

  • Security role Key Account Manager

    • Tables: Account, Contact

    • Privileges: Create (BU), Read (BU), Write (BU), Assign (BU 


  • Users are also members of the Owning Team – Region South

    Tables: Account, Contact
  • Privileges: Create (BU + Child), Read (BU + Child), Write (BU + Child), Assign (BU + Child)


       
    Because users have Read access at Parent:Child BU level, a Regional Key Account Manager automatically sees all records owned by the parent BU and all child BUs. The reason is that accounts are only once in the system and owning BU is where the account is registred.

  •  
 

Problem

Some Account records contain contractual clauses stating that the data cannot be shared across the holding, and must only be visible to the local company (specific child BU) - Italy in this example.

 

Therefore I need to achieve the opposite behavior for selected Accounts:

These Accounts must remain visible in the local BU

But they must NOT be visible to users in the parent Regional BU and the another childs BUs (Spain, Portugal)

Current Situation - summary

Key Account managers have a security role with Read = Parent:Child BU for the Account table.

Accounts are owned by the child BU.

Because of the hierarchy, they become visible to users in the parent BU.

 

However, I need to prevent visibility from the parent BU for selected records only, while keeping full access for the child BU.

Thank you very much for provided experience and advise.
