The Regions, Practices, Groups, and Projects categories only display if you are part of the relevant hierarchy and the relevant configuration options to show these categories are enabled in your organization. See "Forecasts Settings".

Extending Permissions

RPG owners and Project Managers can grant permission controls to certain users who require them. For example:

• If you are a Project Manager, you can grant the Forecast Edit permission control to an internal or external colleague who you wish to enter forecasts for your projects or sub-projects.

If you need to grant permission controls to another user, contact your administrator to enable access to permission controls for your user.
