Analysis Authorization

We have a need to restrict the majority of our users from seeing transactions of few business accounts. The restricted accounts can be based on a specific gl account, fund range, or they can be a combination of a fund and cost center (or fund and fund center). Until we become more familiar with this process, we are only concerned with 0FUND and it's restricted ranges, so below my question is just about 0FUND..
We need to explore and understand what abilities analysis authorizations give us. I have done a lot of reading, but so far all of the pieces are not falling into place. I am on the BW team and working with the security team to get this accomplished. At this time whereever 0FUND is located in an existing authorization, it has a "*" to indicate the user gets all values. We have already gone live; will every authorization currently in use with 0FUND have to be changed? Is there a detailed How-To located somewhere?
thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Linda,
SUIM - User Information System is a TRANSACTION CODE. (Its not SUM)
Execute SUIM and follow the path mentioned below:
SUIM -> User -> Users by complex selection criteria -> Users by complex selection criteria. In the Authorization object field mention S_RS_AUTH and in the field mention the name of the analysis authorization which you want to search for.
The output would be users who have access to the analysis authorization that you gave in the search criteria.
Since in your case there would be a lot of analysis authorizations with * in 0FUND, it would be better to identify the roles first and then the users assigned to these roles.
You can identify the roles by browsing the table SE16. Just give the object name and all the analysis authorizations in the multiple selection on appropriate fields. Then use SUIM to identify the users who have access to these roles.
SUIM -> User -> Users by complex selection criteria -> By Roles.
You can also display the roles in this report by pressing the Roles button at the top. Apply filter to restrict the roles to your identified roles.
Thats it !
Regards

Analysis Authorization in BO 4.0 Webi report

Hi All,
I am using BO 4.0 and creating connection from Information Design tool to a BW query using BICS client. This connection is then published to CMC.
We are using SAP authentication and importing the roles from BW system. We have added profiles to this role and these profiles have Analysis Authorization set on Company Code. So one user can access data to one company code and vice versa. Now this works well in Bex Analyzer, but if I try to create a report in Webi, the analysis authorization fails. I went through the forum before posting this question and I found that is in 3.1 version and in most cases using SSO in universe connection solved the problem.
However in 4.0 I am using BICS client and followed the same processes to create a connection but for some reason it doesn't work ? Is this suppose to work differently in 4.0 ?
I have tried:
1. To create connection in Information Design tool using SSO, selecting user ID and password. It doesn't work.
2. Checked the Bex query and it already has Company code as a Characteristic restrictions (I have made it a mandatory variable).
3. Publish the connection to CMC with my Enterprise and SAP ID and in both cases it doesn't work.
Please let me know if anyone encountered a similar issue and what is the best method to resolve this.
(BO 4.0 no service pack or fix pack installed on the system yet)
Thanks - Appreciate your help !

Ingo,
1. To create connection in Information Design tool using SSO, selecting user ID and password. It doesn't work.
>> Correct you need to setup you OLAP Connection with SSO.
>>> What I meant was I created the connections using both the methods, Using SSO it allows me to create a connection. The ID which I am using to create a connection has Admin access to BOBJ system. When I login as a regular user to create a Webi report and select this new connection, it throws an error message 'The DSL Service returned an error: com.businessobjects.dsl.services.workspace.impl.QueryViewAnalyzer$CannotGetCubeFromConnectionException: Cannot get the cube from the connection'
Using the other method to create a connection with User ID and password, I can create a connection and with the normal user login I can connect to the BW query but Analysis Authorization doesn't work.
Ingo : Could you be more specific what you mean here with the different users ? When you say "regular" user are you referring to an SAP credentials or SAP BusinessObjects Enteprrise credentials ?
2. Checked the Bex query and it already has Company code as a Characteristic restrictions (I have made it a mandatory variable).
>> The variable in the BEx query needs to be an authorization variable.
>>> This has already been set as Authorization variable. There is still a question here. If I select the variable as Authorization variable, I cannot set the other parameters in the query properties such as Mandatory variable (as this is greyed out).
Ingo : What other parameters would you like to configure ? Could you perhaps describe the scenario with more details ?

Analysis Authorization Issue 7.3

Hello Friends,
System BW 7.3, Currently there are 80 odd analysis authorization objects
We want to introduce a new info object (GL Account) to be authorization relevant, ( there are few objects in the system which are already authorization relevant in the system with proper analysis authorization objects and they are working fine)
Things done, made the GL Account object authorization relevant in RSA1, Created 2 analysis authorization objects with GL Account and TCT objects and one with hierarchy restrictions and one open access.
Added this object to the user in addition to its already existing authorization objects. Created authorization variable in BEx.
Some how the authorization is not picked up and it gives us all the values in the report. But if I add the GL Account info object to the existing analysis authorization objects then it works fine.
I do not want to change all the existing analysis authorization objects to add GL Account.
Your inputs are most welcome.
Thanks
Ed.

Gajesh- I have added the new analysis authorization object to the user in RSECadmin.
Subhendu- Problem statement: What are the steps involved in making a new info object(GL Account) authorization relevant. Authorizations are given at hierarchy level. Can we create a new analysis authorization with GL Account only or do we have to add it to every existing analysis authorization
I have done the following steps
1. Made the GL Account object authorization relevant in RSA1,
2. Created 2 new analysis authorization objects with GL Account ( with hierarchy restrictions) and TCT objects and one with GL Account open access.
3. Added this object ( which has restrictions) to the user in RSECADMIN, in addition to its already existing authorization objects.
4. Created authorization variable in BEx.
5. No existing analysis authorization objects have been changed.
When I test the report, It does not restrict based on the hierarchy that I have given, it gives open access.
But If I add GL Account with restrictions to the existing analysis authorization object, it works good.
Guess I am missing some thing here.
Do you need any other screen shots.
Thanks
Ed.

Analysis Authorization Issue

Hi:
I created an analysis authorization ZCO_CODE to trstrict it by a company code.
I added following objects in authorization with values.
0COMP_CODE = 1000
0TCAACTVT = 03
0TCAIFAREA = *
0TCAIPROV = *
0TCAVALID = *
Then I created a role Z:00:BW_REPORT, where I added following authorization objects S_RS_AUTH and restricted it by value ZCO_CODE. Then I assigned this role to a user test01.
When I execute a program RSEC_MIGRATION for this specific user, I do not see authorization object ZCO_CODE on 2nd step of this program. Any Idea Why? I think this object should show up as I want to migrate this specific object.
Help will be appreciated.

Hi Sachin:
Okay here is my issue.
I have a Reporting authorization Object created earlier which is ZCOCODE. I though I'll have to create a new Analysis authorization object e.g. ZCO_CODE and then restrict it with other chars. as mentioned in Marc Bernards presentation and then you have to migrate it.
In selection list I can see old Reporting authorization object. If I select it and use option "Enhance existing profile" then It will update profile and not role? right....
How can I see whether it has updated existing profile?????
Do I need to create new Analysis Auth. for Company code or I can use old Reporting authorization for company code?
For testing purpose, I created a test user and assigned all reporting roles but It will not show up in RSEC_MIGRATION step???

BW Analysis authorization issue on cost center range

Hello BIW security experts
I have a problem where I created an analysis authorization on a cost center range and it looks like the interval is not working. The report is just a list of cost centers (demo to users to prove that analysis authorizations work in order to skip 2 managerial cost centers.
. Cost centers are numeric. Example: 2000100. In the drop down list they appear as such.
. I want to have the following cost center range: 1000000 to 1000771, 1000773 to 2000771, 2000773 to 9999999.
Thereofore 1000772 and 2000772 should not appear in the list.
. In the analysis authorization I have put the 3 ranges above on 3 separate lines. 'BT' is the operator. The cost centers have been selected from the drop down list.
Results: I get only 1 record from the report.... 2000772. (which is one I want to exclude..
Steps tried to debug:
. When I put a list of cost centers in the analysis authorization on separate line with the 'EQ' operator, then the report works.
. I tried putting ' ' delimiters since cost center is a char field but it fails.
. I tried adding leading and trailing zeros to fill up the char(10) but no luck.
. I tried creating a hierarchy with the interval and put it in the hierachy auth. tab and it does not work either. It gives the same number of records than the first step.
. A hierarchy with single values work.
I do not know what else to try..
Thanks.

BW Analysis authorization issue... need help urgently....

We have one BW query which is pulling data from Contract Division info-object. Now this report does not variable selection object so it is pulling data from all values of Contract Division. Values of Contract Division are CNC, CNS, CNE and CNL.
Now we have created an analysis auth. object called z_es_3 and added Contract division info-object. Now we have added that z_es_3 into role and given value to CNS. now when we are running report, we are getting No Authorization error. When we are giving * value in z_es_3, it is running fine.
Now we have to restrict report to contract division. please help.
Thanks in advance

Are you running unrestricted search on Contract division in your queries? You should restrict it to value which is maintained in the authorization for the InfoObject.
Also please run the analysis authorization trace from RSECADMIN. That will give you a clearer picture of what is wrong.

Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies

Hi guys - I've got a problem where s.o. might have an idea of how to switch on the light at the end of the tunnel, I am currently standing in:
Requirement:
Cost Center Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN, reporting should be possible for any hierarchy that exists for the authorization relevant info object.
Preferred solution:
The Cost Center Analysis Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN - Hierarchy node assignment.
u2022     A dedicated Authorization Cost Center Hierarchy will be maintained in ECC6 as an alternative cost center hierarchy and extracted into BW.
u2022     The RSECADMIN Hierarchy node assignment should be based on a particular node (Type 2).
u2022     The display level will be specified as required (here: Level 7)
u2022     The Authorization granted should be independent of hierarchy name and version (validity 3).
Reporting Scenario and technical impact:
As mentioned above, when designing and running a query the user should be able to freely select other (i.e. than the authorization) display hierarchies for the authorization relevant reporting object 'Cost Center' as well. The technical names of the semantically relevant hierarchy nodes could therefore vary. E.g. cost centers 1, 2 and 3, being assigned under hierarchy node u2018Au2019 of the RSECADMIN relevant authorization hierarchy, could be subsumed by hierarchy node u2018Bu2019 in another display hierarchy, which the user may want to display in accordance to his reporting needs. Ideally, the alternative display hierarchy should therefore display node u2018Bu2019.
My findings so far (based on prototyping) turn out that this is not possible as long u2018Bu2019 (and its hierarchy) is not authorized in RSECADMIN. Can these findings be confirmed? And if not, would anyone have an idea of how to facilitate the reporting scenario?
Would there be any other way to grant access, possibly based on RSECADMIN single values, and also enable the user to flexibly display hierarchies with only those hierarchy nodes whose single cost center values the user has been given access to?
Thanks everyone for your input...
Claus

HI CLause,
On Jul 14 2009, you wrote in SDN and said:
FYI: Found a solution...
The hierarchy analysis authorization will be based on a navigational attribute of cost center.
With analysis authorizations it is possible to declare the Auth object (e.g. 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0) as authorization relevant and leave the superior object 0COSTCENTER auth irrelevant.
The auth will be given for 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0. This object will be placed as a filter of the query, being restricted by an Authorization variable for hierarchy nodes.
Due to the concept of Analysis Authorizations, this variable will automatically pick up the nodes granted as part of RSECADMIN Hierarchy based Authorization.
As mentioned above, 0COSTCENTER as the regular reporting characteristic remains auth irrelevant and can therefore take any hierarchy thatu2019s available. Reporting on single values will be possible, too. Only those nodes show up that hold the authorized cost centers in accordance to the authorization.
If the auth relevant 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0 is not used in the query definition by either not taking it in as a filter or skipping the Auth variable, the query will launch the message that the authorization is missing. No data show up at all.
Claus
See this thread:
Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies
I am also in the same situation as you and need to understadn your solution. I understand that you created a Nav Attr on 0COSTCENTER and made this auth relevant whilst ensuring that 0COSTCENTER is NOT auth relevant. This is all fine. The issue was you have multiple hierachies for 0COSTCENTER, how did the new Nav Attr help you solve your issue. When loading 0COSTCENTER what values did you load ino the new Nav Attribute and how did that link to the hierachies? Also, in RSECADMIN you created hiearchy nodes based on the Nav Attribute but I am confused as to what values you have in the Nav Attr.
I appreciate if you can share your solution from the past in more details.
many thanks

Web Intelligence Report + BI 7.0 Analysis Authorizations

Hello Experts,
I have created a report on a universe based in a SAP BW InfoCube that contains an authorization relevant InfoObject (Company Code).
BW Analysis authorization have been set up for this cube in such way that the user should have access only to data containing one of the two values of Company Code (lets say for example that the user can access value "A").
It seems to be working fine when testing them via a BEx Query or via rsecadmin (rsrt with detailed analysis authorization logs). When the test user tries to view the full contents of the specific cube gets an "access denied" message (this is normal), whereas if the user runs a report with a filter "A" on Company Code the report returns the results as it should have. So far so good.
For testing use within Web Intelligence, I have created the following Single Sign On (SSO) universes: a)directly on the cube, b)via a "select all" query and finally c)via a filtered query (filtering the exact allowed values of analysis authorization of the test user). All of the above have unfortunately the exact same issues:
When a test user with limited analysis authorization (i.e. a user that can only access value "A" of Company Code) tries to view a report on either of these universes, then the result is the following message when trying to execute the query "A database error occured. The database error text is: Error loading cube MyCube/MyQuery (catalog MyCube): Unknown error. (WIS 10901)"
I have tried several settings on the universe (like filter working on LoV as well) but none helped.
If we replace the user's analysis authorizations with full access on company code (values "A" and "B") the query runs as it should have.
Any ideas?
Best regards
Giorgos

Hi,
has the Universe been created on the cube level or on the query level ?
In case it is on the cube level it will fail because :
Analysis authorizations are not based on authorization objects. Instead, you create authorizations that include a group of characteristics. You restrict the values for these characteristics.
The authorizations can include any authorization-relevant characteristics, and treat single values, intervals, and hierarchy authorizations in the same way. Navigation attributes can also be flagged as authorization-relevant in the attribute maintenance for characteristics and can be added to authorizations as separate characteristics.
You can then assign this authorization to one or more users.
All characteristics flagged as authorization-relevant are checked when a query is executed.
*A query always selects a set of data from the database. If authorization-relevant characteristics are part of this data, you have to make sure that the user who is executing the query has sufficient authorization for the complete selection. Otherwise, an error message is displayed indicating that the authorization is not sufficient. In principle, the authorizations do not work as filters. Very restricted exceptions to this rule are hierarchies in the drilldown and variables that are filled depending on authorizations. Hierarchies are mostly restricted to the authorized nodes, and variables that are filled depending on authorizations act like filters for the authorized values for the particular characteristic*

Need analysis authorization help

Hello Gurus,
Could someone please help me out with my Analysis Authorization issue?
We have a BW query and workbook outputting "Tcode usage" like the following:
UserGroup| Username| Tcodename| Frequency
This one has been running long time without any problems in reporting authorization, but now We want to get it restricted and only allow data associated group HR to display using new Analysis authorization. The scenario for this report is as follows:
1. Rsecadmin >Maintenance> Create New authorization "Group" which consists of 4 characteristics: 0TCAACTVT, 0TCAIPROV, 0TCAVALID and 0TCTUSRGRP(which is the characteristic about group name and already authorizatio relevant). Set 0TCTUSRGRP "EQ HR".
2.Assigned this authorization to a role using PFCG through the S_RS_AUTH. Other authorization objects in this role are: S_BDS_D, S_BDS_DS, S_RS_MPRO, S_RSEC, S_RS_COMP, S_RS_COMP1, S_RS_HIER, S_RS_ICUBE, S_RS_ODSO.
3.In BEx analyzer, set type: Characteristic Values and Variable filled from authorization and value "Selection Option". Unselected "ready for input". Put the characteristic associated with group name to filter windown on the top righ hand side of the Query Designer. Also compare users in PFCG.
The question is the I still get all data about all groups. Looks like the authorization group doesn't work. I used the "execute as " and get no errors back.
Note: I didn't use "generation" to create the new authorization in Rsecadmin
Thank you very much for any answers!
Haifeng

I guess i have found the reason why my authorization dosen't work. I don't activate infoObjects 0TCA* and 0TCT* and infoCubes 0TCA* as well. But another thing I am confused about is :
Should I activate HR and CO businees content for authorizations 0TCA_DS02OTCA_DS05 and 0CCA_O010CCA_O03 before i get started? or should i run generation everytime i create a new authorization using Maintenance in Rsecadmin?

BI 7.0 Analysis Authorization issue: some reports displaying a blank page.

Hi All,
This is regarding BI 7.0 Analysis Authorization issue.
Overview:
we have restricted some queries at infoobject level.
Issue:
a. For some of the queries, we can see the selection screen but when we try to execute the query by clicking on the execute button (Queries WAD) we get a blank page, meaning nothing is displayed on the output (white/Blank screen).
b. When we execute the same query through RSRT, we get a message which says "Disconnecting from BW server..".
c. Let me explain further on this. Basically we are doing this in order to have limited access to Auditors at the client side. At the same time normal users should not get impacted due to this, hence we created two roles. One for normal users and other for Auditors.
d. Now the thing is that we execute the same report with normal user ID's the report executes properly and displays the output. it does not show the blank page.
e. But when we execute the same report with Auditors ID then we get a blank page.
Any idea why this is so?

Hi Neha,
I tried the below also,
GL Acnt
I EQ 0000134010
I EQ :
but still it didn't work.
No Infoobject is missing in Authorization Object.
For your point, "rsecadmin - > analysis -> execute as -> check for the desired user & analyze the log" it didnu2019t allow me to analyze, since as soon as click on execute button a pop-up comes up saying "Disconnecting from the BW server..."
As mentioned earlier also it is giving me the below message,
""I>> Row: 103 Inc: AUTHORITY_02 Prog: CL_RSR_RRK0_AUTHORIZATION RS_EXCEPTION 301CL_RSR_RRK0_AUTHORIZATION AUTHORITY_02"
Kindly suggest, since this is a show-stopper for us!
Thanks,
Ishdeep Kohli.

BW Analysis Authorization on two charcteristics issue

I am familiar with analysis authorizations in BW 7.0 and worked on it.
Today we have blanket authorization (RSECADMIN) for 0TAX_NUMB = *. Meaning user who has this auth/role can see values (from where ever 0TAX_NUMB is used, all company codes etc). And as you might know 0TAX_NUMB is used in 0VENDOR & 0CUSTOMER master data (as an attribute). This works well, because its easy
Now, new requirement is to create more strict analysis authorizations for 0TAX_NUMB based on other characteristic values.
Auth1 (should apply to 0TAX_NUMB used in 0VENDOR):
0TAX_NUMB = all values and only for vendor account group = XXX
Auth2 (should apply to 0TAX_NUMB used in 0VENDOR):
0TAX_NUMB = all values and only for vendor account group = yyy
Auth3 (should apply to 0TAX_NUMB used in 0VENDOR):
0TAX_NUMB = all values and only for vendor account group = zzz
Auth4 (should apply to 0TAX_NUMB used anywhere other than 0VENDOR, for example, as I said above its also used in 0CUSTOMER and may be used elsewhere in future):
0TAX_NUMB = all values
Do I also need to add 0CUSTOMER here? unable to visualize!!!
Also, 0TAX_NUMB and Vendor account group will have colon authorization.
So, at this time I am not sure how this will impact other queries with following scenario(s):
User1 has auth1:
Here, User1 can see tax_numb values for vendor act grp XXX, thats good, so far.
But can user see query results where tax_numb is not used but would like to see all vendor account group related data (or other than value XXX)?
User2 has auth4:
Since this auth has blanket tax_numb, can user2 see all values for tax_numb used in 0CUSTOMER (which he/she should) and also in 0VENDOR (he/she should not)...
And what about queries that do not have 0TAX_NUMB (but infoprovider has)? Colon auth on TAX_NUMB & Vendor act grp would resolve this?
I appreciate your thoughts on this. We are BW 7.01 (Ehp1), SPS10.

Hierarchy Analysis Authorization in BW and BOBJ Webi Report

Hello,
We have a scenario wherein we have implemented Analysis Authorizations (Hierarchy) on Organizational Unit info object (0ORGUNIT) and need to report on BOBJ WEBI. Our scenario is as following
ORGUNIT    - L0 (Overall Enterprise Level)
-     L1 (Enterprise - Continent Wise Split)
-     L2 (Enterprise u2013 Country Wise Split)
-     L3(Enterprise u2013 City Wise Split)
E.G-
      LO (Company ABC) MANAGER 0 will have access to the entire organization
           -L1 (ASIA) MANAGER1 will have access to ASIAN Subcontinent
                  -L2 (India) MANAGER 2 will have Access to country India
                            -L3 (New Delhi) MANAGER 2.1 will have access to city Delhi
                            -L3 (Mumbai) MANAGER 2.2 will have access to city Mumbai
                   -L2 (Malaysia) MANAGER 3 will have access to Country Malaysia
                              -L3 (Kuala Lampur)
                              -L3 (pahang)
             - L1 (Europe)
                                        u2026..
The requirement is that the CEO of the company should be able to see the entire set of data ( L0-L4).We have continent managers who can see that data specific to their continent, similarly at L3 Level the city manageru2019s should see the data only for their specific city.
In BI we have used analysis authorization based on hierarchies. We have created an authorization object say ZAUTH1 and have assigned the hierarchy L0 from RSECADMIN. Now, in Webi when we create a report a sample row comes as :
L0 Org Unit     L1 Org Unit     L2 Org Unit     L3 Org Unit     SALES Key Figure
Company ABC     Asia          India          Mumbai          1000
Now, we have MANAGER 2.2 who has only access to the data specific to his city (Mumbai). There is an Analysis Authorization object created for him ZAUTH2, by ONLY assigning the org unit hierarchy L3 (for Mumbai). When we run the bex report with the user MANAGER 2.2 u2013 it correctly displays the result and the user is only able to see the data for L3 Org Unit (Mumbai). However when you bring this data to Webi u2013 the report comes in the below format:
L0 Org Unit     L1 Org Unit     L2 Org Unit     L3 Org Unit     SALES Key Figure
Mumbai                                           1000
The L3 org unit has now got assigned to L0 Org unit , as this is the only org unit assigned to the MANAGER 2.2 user .
In such a case we are not able to write any generic formulae for the report. Is there a way to correct this issue? u2018Mumbaiu2019 should either get assigned to the L3 OrgUnit column is webi report , or is there a workaround that is possible ?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Vj

Hi Vijay,
The problem you speak of is known and comes from the fact that the hierachy is flattened in the process of delivering it to WebI. Therefore there is no real 'solution' to the problem, just some work-arounds you can think of...
1)
Create a report variable that starts looking at the lowest level, if it is empty check one up, and so on until you found what you were looking for (the lowest leaf available), which by definition must be there (even if it is top level).
Using similar logic you can also get a 'number of levels avaible' and so fill in the complete tree (duplicating the highest level).
This is difficult to explain when end users create their own reports, though you could provide a template report with these variables in there already.
2)
Extend the hierarchy with duplicates below the lowest level.
So i.e. L0 Company - L1 Continent - L2 Country - L3 City- L4 City - L5 City- L6 City.
This will give back on the four levels for top authorization
L0 Company - L1 Continent - L2 Country - L3 City
For authorization on Continent:
L0 Continent - L1 Country - L2 City- L3 City
For autorization City
L0 City- L1 City - L2 City- L3 City
So in all situations the fourth level, the L3 Object will hold the City level.
This you can then use in your report.
Hope this helps,

How to get Query Results based on Analysis Authorization Ranges????

Hi Experts,
I have gone through the lot of SDN Links, however not able to find the answer to my question.
I have an Authorization Issue, NO Authorization
Error : EYE 007 ( Insufficient Authorizations )
Here is the issue:
Need to see the complete query result when I gave the range in Analysis Authorization for Controlling Area 001-005. Controlling Area is auth relevant and right now a variable is inserted in the query for it. If I select Controlling Area 001, the result for Controlling Area 001 is displayed in query. If 002 then also displayed. If I do not enter anything, then I get the Eye 007 error message.
I am not sure how do I display/authorize the entire result in the query for all the Controlling Areas, I have authorized user to see??
Its really urgent, please help..!

Hi,
 Have you defined the vaule for 0CO_AREA as BT 001-005 in you Authorization for 0CO_AREA.Also how have you defined your Authorization Variable on the query? Have you define as select options or interval? I thing you need to define it as interval or select options.
Hope it helps,

Impact of Analysis Authorization on Users using old Authorization

Hi All,
I have question regarding Analysis Authorization. Our system has old authorization concept and as part of our project we decided to go for Analysis authorization for Cost Center object. We activated analysis authorization for cost center, assigned it to test user id and found that its working fine in Dev. But it has impacted other users in the system. They are not able to access any other reports and data providers which were not even referring cost center. What is the proper way to activate analysis authorization without impacting access to existing users.

Hello Andreas,
Sorry to ask you directly here, I didn't get answer from this forum. We will migrate to the new analysis authorization from old reporting concept. I have read the book "An Expert guide to new SAP BI security features" by SAP Lavs, but still confused with some parts. My questions is:
Are there two ways to create authorizations as follows?
1. we can type tcode rsecadmin>Maintence button>create a new authorization.
2. the following part taken from the book:
Steps for Generating Authorizations
1. Activate Business content
2. Load Datastore objects
3. Generate Authorizations
4. View Generation Log.
In the first step, OTCA_DS01 to OTCA_DS05 and OCCA_O01 to OCCA_O03 are Datastore objects required to be activated.
In the second step, tcode rsecadmin-->generation button --> type OTCA_SDS01 to OTCA_DS05 into respective filed. Should we always type these 5 objects everytime when we create authorization?
When we should use the second way to create authorizations? and what is the diffrence between them?
Any answers will be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!
