The Propagation tab on the Assessment Details page and the Propagate Control Results option in the Program Details page > Assessments tab > More Actions dropdown are shown by default for users who have Assessment Update and/or Assessment Manage permissions. These features are visible in both Compliance Manager and Enterprise Risk Manager. If you do not want to implement the propagation feature in your use cases, you can hide it by mentioning the enable.propagation = false property in the .properties file.
