Defining Access for Individual Users

To define the accessible scope of the ESRS questionnaire for an individual user, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the data collection page of the reporting entity for which you want to define the access.
  2. On the data collection page, navigate to the required elements, e.g. categories, standards, or questions, and click the users icon .
  3. Activate or deactivate the check box in the Assigned column for the required users. You can use the search box to quickly find and assign users.
  4. Click Apply.
The dialog 'Assign users to 'ESRS 2 General Disclosures' is displayed. The 'Assigned' column is highlighted in red. Assigning users to standard 'ESRS 2 General Disclosures'

Please note:

  • The assignment cannot be changed for users that have been defined as ESG Data Collectors in the master data administration, i.e. these users are automatically assigned to the whole ESRS questionnaire.
  • If you change the assignment for an element that is a category, standard, section, or disclosure requirement, you automatically change the assignment for all subordinate elements as well.
    Example: If you assign a user to the section Basis for Preparation, you will also assign this user to the subordinate disclosure requirements and questions, such as BP-1 General basis for preparation of sustainability statements.
