  • showRequestsAsAdmin to view requests.
  • showWhatifAsAdmin to view What-ifs.

ShowRequestsAsAdmin_WhatIfSettings.xml

  • For requests - <Setting Name="showRequestsAsAdmin" Description="Display request as shown to administrator">1</Setting>.
  • For what-ifs - <Setting Name="showWhatifAsAdmin" Description="Display Whatif as shown to administrator">1</Setting>.
Configuration setting If you set showRequestsAsAdmin or showWhatifsAsAdmin to:
  • 0 – Signed-in users can view only those requests for which they are participants.
  • 1 – Signed-in users can view all requests in the system.
Default The default value is ’0’.
