Show full answer Show less ## Important Upgrade Information * After upgrading to SPM Enterprise-Wide Deployment version 1.0.5 (Brazil), system administrators lose automatic access to partitioned data if they lack the corresponding partition roles. * To maintain full administrative access across partitions, set the system property **snspmewd.allowadminaccesstoallpartitions** to **true** . By default, this is **false** to enforce stricter data governance. * System administrators or users with the **snspmewd.ewdadmin** role can configure this property. ## Key Features Introduced in Brazil * **Partitioning for Data Visibility Control:** Enables separation and control of record visibility across functions such as IT Operations, HR, and Finance by creating partitions. This is managed using the **EWD admin (snspmewd.ewdadmin)** role. * **Partition Criteria Configuration:** Allows use of reference fields (e.g., Department) on primary tables such as Project, Demand, Program, and Portfolio to define partitions. * **Supported Tables and Workspaces:** Partitioning applies to primary tables (Project, Demand, Program, Portfolio) and their related entities (cost plans, resource plans, planning items) which inherit partition values. Partition enforcement is automatic across Strategic Planning, Portfolio Planning, Project, and Resource Management Workspaces. * **EWD PMO Role:** Assign the **snspmewd.ewdpmo** role to PMO users or groups requiring enterprise-wide visibility across all partitions, such as organization leads and portfolio managers. * **Scheduled Job for Existing Records:** Provides a job to update pre-existing records with partition details after partition configuration and role assignments are completed. * **Partition-Specific Dashboards:** Enables mapping dashboards to partitions so each partition uses its own dashboard layout and settings, with a dedicated mapping table for management. ## Changes and Enhancements * **Portfolio Project Partition Coverage:** Partition protection now extends to the relationships between portfolios and projects, restricting visibility in the Portfolio Project \[pmm2mportfolioproject\] table according to partition roles. * **Strict Partition Access Enforcement:** All user roles, including system administrators, must have appropriate partition roles to access partition-protected data, supporting uniform and strict data governance policies. ## Activation and Installation SPM Enterprise-Wide Deployment is available via the ServiceNow Store. Customers should request installation through the ServiceNow Store to activate the Enterprise-Wide Deployment features. This applies for both the Australia and Brazil releases. ## Additional Notes * No features or functionality were removed or deprecated in the Brazil release. * No changes were made to browser requirements, accessibility, localization, or additional technical requirements from Yokohama to Brazil. * For releases prior to Brazil (Yokohama, Zurich, Australia), no updates were noted in this consolidated document. ## Practical Impact for ServiceNow Customers With the Brazil release, customers gain enhanced data partitioning capabilities to control visibility across departments and functions securely. This supports enterprise-wide governance and compliance by ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive portfolio, program, project, and demand data based on their roles and partition assignments. System administrators must plan for the change in default access behavior and configure system properties accordingly to balance administration needs with security policies. Customers can expect improved management of multi-departmental portfolios with partition-specific dashboards and role-based visibility, enabling better strategic planning and PMO oversight.

Set the sn_spm_ewd.allow_admin_access_to_all_partitions system property to true if system administrators must continue accessing all the partitioned-data even though they don't have the respective partition role. For details, see [Configure administrator access to all partitions](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-admin-access-to-all-partitions&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US). | [ ] ## New features Between your current release family and Brazil, new features were introduced for SPM Enterprise-Wide Deployment. {#dfrn3-spmenterprisewidedeployment-summary__entry__12} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | [Partitions](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-partition-ewd&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Separate and control record visibility across functions using partitions. * Create partitions for functions such as IT Operations, HR, and Finance using the EWD admin (sn_spm_ewd.ewd_admin) role. * Configure partition criteria using reference fields such as Department on the project, demand, program, and portfolio tables. [Supported tables and workspaces](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=supported-tables-for-partition-ewd&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : * Partitioning is supported on the following primary tables and their related entities: * Project \[pm_project\] * Demand \[dmn_demand\] * Program \[pm_program\] * Portfolio \[pm_portfolio\] Related entities such as cost plans, resource plans, and planning items automatically inherit the partition value from the parent record. * Partition enforcement applies automatically at runtime across the following workspaces: * Strategic Planning Workspace * Portfolio Planning Workspace * Project Workspace * Resource Management Workspace [Assign PMO role for visibility across all partitions](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=assign-pmo-roles-for-visibility-across-all-partitions&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Assign the EWD PMO (sn_spm_ewd.ewd_pmo) role to users or user groups who require visibility across all partitions, regardless of their assigned partition role. This role is intended for PMO users such as organization leads who require enterprise-wide visibility across all departments. [Update existing records with partition details scheduled job](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=update-partition-details-for-existing-records&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Populate partition details on records in the project, demand, program, portfolio, and planning item tables that were created before partition configuration was completed. Run this job only after completing partition configuration and assigning partition roles to users or user groups. | | Brazil | [Partition-specific dashboards](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=map-dashboard-to-partition-ewd&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Map dashboards to partitions so that each partition uses its own dashboard layout and settings. A partition-to-dashboard mapping table stores these associations, so you can create, update, and delete mappings as your partition structure changes. | [ ] ## Changes Between your current release family and Brazil, some changes were made to existing SPM Enterprise-Wide Deployment features. {#dfrn3-spmenterprisewidedeployment-summary__entry__22} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | [Portfolio project partition coverage](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=supported-tables-for-partition-ewd&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Partition protection extends to the relationships between portfolios and projects, stored in the Portfolio Project \[`pm_m2m_portfolio_project`\] table. Users see portfolio-project relationships only for the partitions that they can access. [Restrict system administrator access to partitioned data](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-admin-access-to-all-partitions&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Restrict system administrators from accessing partition-protected data through a new configurable system property. The system property sn_spm_ewd.allow_admin_access_to_all_partitions controls whether system administrators can access all partitions by default. By default, this property is set to `false`, which means system administrators must have the appropriate partition role to access partition-protected data. Users with the system administrator or sn_spm_ewd.ewd_admin role can configure this property. This enforces strict data governance policies at all security levels and prevents unintended access to sensitive partition data. When partition access restrictions apply, all user roles, including system administrators, are subject to uniform partition role validation. | [ ] ## Removed Between your current release family and Brazil, some SPM Enterprise-Wide Deployment features or functionality were removed. {#dfrn3-spmenterprisewidedeployment-summary__entry__32} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Deprecations Between your current release family and Brazil, some SPM Enterprise-Wide Deployment features or functionality were deprecated. {#dfrn3-spmenterprisewidedeployment-summary__entry__42} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Activation information Review information on how to activate SPM Enterprise-Wide Deployment. {#dfrn3-spmenterprisewidedeployment-summary__entry__52} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Yokohama | No updates for this release. | | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | Activation information : Install Enterprise-Wide Deployment by requesting it from the ServiceNow Store.
