Issue/Introduction

When enabling FLS on First Name and Last Name, Full Name is no longer editable on Resources and Teams, however remains editable on Roles

Note: the behavior on editable "Full Name" field is not limited to MUX and matches Classic

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Connect to Clarity with admin user, added to a specific Security Group you are aware of
2. Go to MUX – Resources
3. Note that you are able to modify First Name and Last Name for any resource
4. Now go to Administration – Attributes
5. Filter on Object – Resource and search for “name”
6. Set First Name and Last Name to Secure and Access View to the Security Group your user has access to
7. Now go to Resources
8. Try to edit the First Name and Last Name fields in Resources tab
9. Now try to edit Full Name
10. Go to Teams tab– try to edit First Name and Last name, then Full Name
11. Now go to Roles tab and try to edit First Name and Last name, then Full Name

Expected Results: The field to be not editable as on the other screens. Teams resource also does not have a First Name and the Full Name is blocked from editing.

Actual Results: Full Name is editable which defies the purpose of using FLS on First Name and Last Name

Environment

Clarity 16.3.2

Cause

This was reviewed as DE173291, and it's determined to be by design

Resolution

By Design.

Due to evolution of resources, roles and teams in MUX.  

• In Teams you have to change the name under Team Investment.  
• Only Resource can have first and last names
• In Roles the Full Name is expected to be editable

This is an area that cannot be made consistent as it has to abide by MUX current rules and Classic legacy rules

Workaround:

Add Business Rules to Full Name field for Role

1. Connect to Clarity MUX - Administration - Blueprints
2. Find the Resource Standard Blueprint and make a copy of it
3. Open the new copy - click Edit
4. Go to Business Rules - Add a new rule with type View Page
5. Filter on Is Role = Yes
6. Action: Disable Editing for Selected Attributes
7. Save the rule
8. Publish the blueprint
9. Select the new blueprint and Make Default
10. Now go to Resource - Roles and observe that Full Name is locked

Alternatively you can also adjust user access permissions to not allow resource editing
