    This is possible to do via a dashboard extender. Here's a sample,

    'Pull the member info object of the scenario you are looking for
Dim objMemberInfo As MemberInfo = BRApi.Finance.Members.GetMemberInfo(si, DimType.Scenario.Id, "Budget", True)
 
Dim scenarioProperties As ScenarioVMProperties = objMemberInfo.GetScenarioProperties()
 
Dim objGroupInfo As GroupInfo = BRApi.Security.Admin.GetGroup(si, "Administrators")
 
scenarioProperties.ManageDataGroup.SetStoredValue(objGroupInfo.Group.UniqueID)
 
'Create new member object
Dim objMember As New Member(objMemberInfo.Member.MemberPk, objMemberInfo.Member.Name, objMemberInfo.Member.Description, objMemberInfo.Member.DimId)
objMemberInfo.Member = objMember
 
'Update the properites and save it
Dim memberPk As MemberPK = BRApi.Finance.MemberAdmin.SaveMemberInfo(si, objMemberInfo, True, True, False, False)

     

    Thanks,

This seems to update the managedata security group. I don't see any option for updating the ReadandWrite group do you know if that is possible?

Curious if anyone found a way to access the ReadAndWrite Group?

    Yes, I was able to edit the ReadAndWrite group like this

    Dim writeableMem As WritableMember = BRApi.Finance.Members.ReadWritableMemberNoCache(si,DimTypeId.Scenario,"Actual")
If writeableMem IsNot Nothing
  writeableMem.ReadDataGroupUniqueID = BRApi.Security.Admin.GetGroup(si, "Administrators").Group.UniqueID
  writeableMem.ReadWriteDataGroupUniqueID = BRApi.Security.Admin.GetGroup(si, "Administrators").Group.UniqueID
  BRApi.Finance.MemberAdmin.SaveMemberInfo(si,True,writeableMem,False,Nothing,False,Nothing,TriStateBool.FalseValue)
End If
