Authorization for navigational attribute

Hi Gurus,
I am facing an authorization issue with respect to infoobject hierarchy. I have created authorizations as below.
There one infoobject 'A' and a navigational attribute 'B' in infoobject 'A'. This navigational atribure A_B is used in an infocube.  And hierarchy is uploaded to Infoobject 'B'. Now I want to give authorization for this hierarchy in infoobject 'B'.
Now coming to authorization.
1. I have made Infoobject 'B' as authorization relevant in Business explorer tab.
2. Created authorization object say ABC in RSSM and inculded infoobject 'B' & 0TCTAUTHH (since I want to authorize the hierarchy and we are using 3.5 authorization concepts in BI 7.0).
3. Activate this authorization object for the infocube.
4. Included this authorization object in the role included for my user. In the field 'B' of authorization object I have given ' ' (space) and in the field 0TCTAUTHH I have given the technical name of the hierarchy.
4. In 3.5 query designer I have put this navigational attribute A_B in the filter area and activated the hierarchy in the properties tab for the same hierarchy that I inculded in previous step.
5. Created a variable with processing type authorization.
Now when I run this report I get an error as no authorization for object ABC.
Can someone help me if I have done anything wrong.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi,
In the infoobject A maintenance screen check the chekc box for field "AuthorizRelevant" for B to make it authorization relevant navigational attribute.
Then go to RSECADMIN and ope your relevant authorization.
In the menu bar just above the "Authorization Structure" you will find the button with icon of infoobject.
Chick on this icon this will give you a screen to enter characteristic name of which attributes are to be added to authorization.
Enter the infoobject A name here and click on continue.
This will give you list of all authorization relevant navigational attributes present for A.
Add B from this list to the authorization.
Hope this helps.

  • Multi-Provider Provider-Specific Properties for Navigational Attributes

    Experts,
    I need to over-ride the naming for a navigational attribute in a multi-provider.
    For non-navigational attributes you simply use the Provider-Specific Properties.  This selection is not available for navigational attributes.
    Is there a different way to apply alternative naming to navigational attributes in a Mult-Provider without affecting the global definition in the base cube.
    Thanks in advance

    No - the users want their own verions of the name as default
    Thanks for the reply

  • Data for navigational attributes # Not Assigned

    Hello friends,
    Our report is based on Multiprovider which is based on 5 cubes.
    These five cubes has one particular Characteristics which hasnavigational Attribute .
    We are using the navigational attribute directly under free characteristics Tab in Query.
    We are also using Characteristic in Query - for characateristic data is shown in report.
    In report we are able to see data as # Not Assigned for navigational attributes.
    When we checked data at info object level for that characateristic, correct data is shown for that navigation attributes.
    We have checked following settings
    At characteristic level - Uncheck Attributes only
    At cube level all navigational attributes are checked
    In Multi provider identification table - This navigational attribute is checked for all five cubes
    In Multi provider Navigational Attributes Tab - This naviagtional attributes is checked
    Activation of Master data was done once again
    we are not getting any other ideas, can any one please suggest us where the problem is?
    Thanks

    I solved my problem
    1. Activate the navigation attribute(s) on the underlying basiscube, from which the query displays data
    2. Choose the navigation attribute(s) for all relevant basiscubes (multicube -> Change -> Button Identification)

  • Need help on Authorization on Navigational Attribute.

    Hi All,
    I am working on Authorizations.
    I am using the info Object "Material group" which is the Navigational Attribute of 0MATERIAL.
    In Reporting, I have created the Authorization Variable for Material group.
    And after this, i have created the Authorization Object in RSECADMIN and added the info Object "Material group" and harded coded the value as "1000". After this, i have created the Authorization Role in PFCG and added this authorization Object over there.And this role is assigned specific User.
    While Running the report on specific User, for Material group, filteration is not happening over there (Material group = 1000). It is showing all values for this user.
    Can you please help on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Shahina A

    Thanks for your reply. I was on leave for the past 2 days. I have checked as you suggested.
    In 0MATERIAL, 0MATL_GROUP is the attribute and i have made Authorization Relvent for this Attribute.
    And i activated the Info object 0MATERIAL.
    Then i have run the query in RSRT and found an error while running the Report.
    Can u pls help on this issue.
    Diagnosis
    The system determined the authorized characteristic values for the characteristic 0MATERIAL__0MATL_GROUP. It determined that you do not have the (analysis) authorization to view transaction data for any characteristic values or range.
    System Response
    If this situation occurs when a variable is being filled, the query cannot be executed.
    Procedure
    You must have authorization for at least one characteristic value for the characteristic 0MATERIAL__0MATL_GROUP.
    Create the appropriate analysis authorizations for the user.
    If you are only authorized for evaluations that aggregate using the characteristic 0MATERIAL__0MATL_GROUP (for ":" authorizations), use a query without this characteristic. If the characteristic is not used as a filter or in the drilldown, variables should not be used.

  • Analysis Authorization on Navigational attribute

    Hi All,
    We are using RSECADMIN (BW 7.0), I want to know whether its possible to make a navigational attribute - ZPAYE_SA__0SALES_OFF - to authorization relevent. The object (ZPAYE_SA) with this is associated is not an authorization relevent.
    Even if I am able to make it authorization relevent is there any other setting changes to be done for it to work properly.
    Regards

    Hi Deepesh
    First need to check Authorization relavent check box for navigational info object "ZPAYE_SA__0SALES_OFF"
    Tcode RSA1 --> Info Object --> Find "ZPAYE_SA" ---> Attributes tab ---> Detail/Naviogation Attibute --> Authorization Check box in front of "0SALES_OFF".
    Goto to RSCEADMIN
    Create a Authorization object and maintain this navigation attribute "ZPAYE_SA__0SALES_OFF"

  • Reporting Authorization - InfoObject/Navigational Attributes

    We have a custom infoobject for Vendor to which access needs to be controlled. Certain users are not supposed to have access to a number of the navigational attributes on the object however we want these users to have access to all other navigational attributes (meaning we don't want these 'fields' to be visible but everything else). We have other reporting authorization objects that prevent access to the entire 'record' if the user is not authorized for a certain value (cost center, etc.).
    Thanks.

    Hi Joerg,
    navigational attributes are treated like characteristics. You can make them authorization relevant and restrict access, e.g. by granting ":", which allows to see overall results without details on this attribute.

  • How to show data for navigational attribute in a report ?

    Hello all,
    I have a hierarchy info object A which has a navigational attribute(hierarchy) B. I need to filter on B for a particular node.
    I have added A in the filter column and selected B as the attribute. How can i restrict B for a particular hierarchy node ?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    S N

    Hi,
    Have you defined 'B' as Navigational attribute at InfoProvider Level?
    You can Restrict B for a Particular Value once it is defined as Navigational attribute at InfoProvder level.
    Go to InfoProvider maintaince>click 'nav attributes'>enable it (check the box).activate the InfoProvider.
    Then you can see it under same dimension where 'A' is assigned and its name would be  A_B.
    Drag and drop in to rows and restrict(include/exclude) with required value.
    thanks

  • # values for navigational attributes in report . (Urgent)

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a navigational attributes for time dependent master data. In the report I am not able to see values for that navigational attribute. I see # values for the navigational attributes. I checked the master data of main info-object. every thing looks fine.
    please help me in regarding this.
    thanks,
    Regards,
    Aarthi

    Check the following two things again just to make sure you are doing everything right. These are already mentioned by Bhanu...
    1) Go to the master data table (Q  table or the M table) and check to see if there are M version records (OBJVERS = M). If yes, you need to activate the master data using the program RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN (Change Run). If there are no M version records then check the second step
    2) If you do not enter any key date in the query, it takes the system date as the default key date. So check and see if any master data exists for today's date ?
    Also just curious, which version and support pack level are you on ?

  • Variable for navigational attribute affected fiscper input variable

    Dear Friends
    Initially, the query is having an input variable for fiscper. The query was able to run properly.
    When i add a input variable for a navigational attribute to the same query which is based on multiprovider, the fiscper input variable is no longer  seen.
    So, I removed the global filter for the navigational attribute and it is ok again.  I fixed a value for the navigational attribute at filter level is also fine.
    Please advise what could be the cause. Thank you so much.
    Best regards
    Bass

    Hi Bass,
    Again seems to be a strange issue, if you have two independent characteristic with two different input enabled variables then there is no reason for the variable to not to show up on selection screen.
    Once you add the new variable and save the query just make sure that you have earlier variable as it is and check the query properties popup and see the fiscper variable sequence in the variable list.

  • Authorization on Navigation Attribute

    Hi experts,
    i'm faced with a problem. I have a navigation attribute in my data model which is authorization relevant. The problem is that the basic characteristic is not authorization relevant. I am not able to make my setting in the analyse authorization as the basic characteristic is not authorization relevant. The basic characteristic is used in some other projects so that i am not allowed to make this characteristic an an authorization relevant one.
    Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
    Thanks all in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Ali

    You did not mention what BW version you are on.  This scenario is allowed in 7.0 Analysis Authorizations, but is not allowed in 3.x 
    In 7.x you can make any navigational attribute authorization relevant on the Attributes tab in RSD1, and the base characteristic does not have to be authorization relevant.
    What problems are you having?

  • Authorization for multiple nav attributes

    Hi Experts,
    I have 2 doubts that I need to confirm with you:
    Scenario :
    an aggregation level has nav attributes  A__C  and B__C.
    A__C is restricted by authorization variable in the filter section of the query.
    A__C is shown in the rows as well.
    B__C is not defined anywhere in the aggregation level and the query.
    Authorization is created for the user on  A__C   and  B__C   and assigned to user via the BI7 auth admin tcode(s).
    The requirement is to control such that user cannot  access certain values of  Both  A__C  values and  B__C values found in records. In this case,  user is set to access  only  :
    A__C  :   1111
    B__C  :   2222
    A record exist like this :
    A__C     ****     B__C   ****  KF
    1111      ****     3333    ****  $1000
    Question:
    1.  when the query is executed, authorization check is ok for  A__C  and the query should execute.
    But given that this user is not authorized to B__C  = 3333,   will the KF value of $1000  be displayed by the query at runtime assuming the query only is selecting A__C and the KF?
    If it does not show results or shows 'not authorized' , can I say its due to B__C = 2222 is granted and not B__C = 3333 was granted?
    Else if it does show the $1000, can I say that even if B__C  is set = 2222 in the user profile / authorization object assigned,  there is no effect of authorization in this case and the record having B__C = 3333 will be displayed with the KF value (B__C value still will not be shown as its not in the query definition).
    2.   Assuming char C is defined in the query and aggregation level,  must this be individually restricted (i.e set auth of  C = value1, value2 .....)  in authorization object or roles in order that the effect of A__C is achieved where authorization values for A__C is defined by  setting auth of A__C = value 1, value2 ...?
    Scenario A:  char C is in the aggregation level but not used in the query definition in the rows and filter.
    Scenario B :  char C is in the aggregation level and used in the query definition in the rows.
    What would the result be in the above 2 scenarios ?
    Hope to get enlightened about this aspects.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear Pointes,
    For management authorization by navigational attribute, I suggest the following steps:
    1.     Should check the attribute setup of “A” and “B” InfoObject in Tcode RSD1, and be sure if they are relevant of authorization. Remember, in BI2004s the attribute navigational are different component authorization.
    2.     Then, you should check your analysis authorization in Tcode RSECADMIN Authorization and verify which these attributes navigational A__C and B__C are included in analysis authorization, and what value do they have? Be careful which logical sing “<, >, =…”. Also, remember include colum “:” value in each attribute navigational for avoid problem.
    3.     Before that, you should check the queries structure and be sure if theses attribute is like a entry variable authorization.
    I hope that can help you,
    Luis

  • F4 Input values for variables based on Navigation Attributes

  • Navigation attributes in APO DP

    I am using APO DP V5.
    I have a planning characteristics of product and customer. I also have a characteristic of 'product group'. I am trying to clarify the <u>real difference</u> between modelling this characteristic as a planning characteristic or as a navigation attribute of product.
    Based on my testing, using product group as a navigation attribute, I can select by product group and apply fixing and disaggregation.
    So, what is the 'added value' of modelling 'product group' as a planning characteristics?
    Any feedback appreciated.
    Thanks, Bob Austin

    To quote OSS note 413526
    When defining a planning area you have the option of using either basic
    characteristics or navigation attributes. With regard to the design the
    following aspects should be considered:
    Navigation attributes:
    ===========================================================
    The use of navigation attributes adversely affects performance during
    data selection and during navigation in the interactive planning. The
    number of used navigation attributes is important and not the different
    specifications of a navigation attribute.
    It is very easy to realign the planning objects since only the master
    record table of the affected InfoObject has to be changed.
    Navigation attributes can not be used as a characteristic during the
    definition of a fixed aggregate.
    During the disaggregation a navigation attribute can never represent the
    lowest planning level.
    Navigation attributes can not be used in the promotion planning, in
    other words an 'assign object' is not possible for navigation attributes.
    Basic characteristics:
    ===========================================================
    In comparison with navigation attributes, the exclusive use of basic
    characteristics improves the performance.
    It is possible to realign the planning objects, but this is more
    complicated.
    Basic characteristics can be used during the definition of aggregates.
    Both navigation attributes and basic characteristics can be used during the
    data extraction.
    It is therefore not possible to give a clear-cut recommendation for or
    against navigation attributes.

  • Hi all can anyone let me know about navigational attributes?

    hi all,
    Can anyone let me know the importance of navigational attributes with examples.
    if docs pls email at [email protected]
    regds
    haritha

    HI haritha,
    Navigational attribute is used for drilling down in the report. We don't need to maintain Navigational attribute in the cube as a characteristic (that is the advantage) to drill down
    0MATERIAL has a Display attribute called MATGROUP and a Navigational attribute called MATTYPE.
    If you want your report to show MATGROUP, you need to have 0MATERIAL in the query too. A Display attribute always 'tags' along with the 'parent' characteristic.
    However you can include MATTYPE in your report without using 0MATERIAL. For reporting purposes a navigational attribute behaves just like another characteristic. This means that you can also have variables for navigational attributes.
    One drawback is that since they are stored outside your Info Cube (in master data tables), the OLAP has to perform an extra step to pull in this data and this leads to some performance impact, although in most cases this is negligible.
    When you double click on a cell in a report which contains a characteristic value, the report is filtered for this value and the entire characteristic column is removed from the results area. If you double click on material 1001, the material column goes away from the results and in the filter cells above the report, you can see value 1001 against Material.
    If you double click on a key figure value, nothing
    happens.
    If you double click on a Char column heading, the char is removed from the drill down.
    If you double click on a key figure column heading, all key figures go away, and the values that are left are for the key figure you double clicked. Again you can verify this by looking at the filter cells against the key figure structure.
