# Setting Up CFP Read Permissions for ESG Administrators

## Overview

This guide explains how to configure the rights of an ESG user with the **Administrator** user role who also needs access to data in the **Consolidation & Financial Planning (CFP)** solution. ESG Administrators need read permissions on CFP master data so that the organization elements defined in CFP are visible in the ESG master data.

## Setup

Configure the user or users with the **ESG Administrator** user role as follows:

1. [Assigning the CFP Observer Role](#assigning-the-cfp-observer-role)
2. [Setting Read Permissions on Organization Elements](#setting-read-permissions-on-organization-elements)
3. Click **Save**.

### Assigning the CFP Observer Role

1. Open the **Users** workspace and navigate to the relevant user.
2. Click the three-dot menu and click **Edit user**. The **Edit user** dialog opens.
3. In the **Choose user access and roles** section, enable **Consolidation & Financial Planning** and then **Data model roles**.
4. Select the **Observer** role.

### Setting Read Permissions on Organization Elements

1. In the **Edit user** dialog, click **Permissions**. The **Permissions for Consolidation & Financial Planning** dialog opens.
2. In the **Workspaces** tab, open the **Dimensions** folder.
3. Enable the **Read** right for **Organization elements**.
4. Switch to the **Data access** tab and open the **Organization elements** folder.
5. Enable the **Read** permission for **Organization elements**.
4. Click **Assign**.
