If modeling is enabled for managers you can decide if they can:

- Only use models created by compensation professionals
You can decide how the model creator can share the model:
- Restrict the model to only the person who created the model.
- Allow the model to be shared with all managers.
- Allow the manager to share the model only with direct reporting managers.
The model can be used to change:
- Budget amounts
- Target amounts
- Actual compensation amounts
- Or, a mix of the choices
In this practice, you disable model sharing with direct reports. Also, enable the bring to n percentage of target range allocation method, disable the allocation methods that allow you to bring values up to a certain compa-ratio and increase the percentage points in compa-ratio.
