The ability to use actions for granting/changing permissions to items that have already been archived into the archive database.

0

[Benefits and business justification]
- In many business processes, items are archived after a certain period to reduce the load on the production database.
- However, access to historical data is often essential – e.g., in the context of audits, analysis, reporting, or trend comparisons.
- Granting appropriate permissions enables precise management of archive access, aligned with real business needs.

Optimization of analytical and reporting processes
- Archived data is often analyzed to support strategic decision-making based on historical trends.
- With the ability to assign permissions, it will be possible to create dedicated analytical groups with access only to selected elements of the archive, without the need to grant access to all users.

Increased security and access control
- Currently, the inability to grant permissions to archived items forces organizations to use workarounds, such as keeping items in the production database longer than necessary.
- This reduces security, slows down the system, and complicates data lifecycle management.


[Problems resulting from the current lack of functionality]

- No controlled access to the archive – users must either have global permissions or none at all. This limits precision and creates a risk of excessive data exposure.
- Ineffective data lifecycle management – since maintaining access and control over archived items is difficult, organizations often delay archiving or keep items in the operational database, which leads to overload and performance degradation.
- Hindered work of analysts and controllers – access to historical data is often necessary, but the lack of a flexible mechanism for assigning permissions requires administrator involvement and manual workarounds.


[Summary]
- Adding the functionality of granting permissions to archived items will:
- increase security and access control,
- improve the performance of the main production database,
- provide flexibility and convenience for business users,
- reduce the need for costly and time-consuming workarounds.
