Customer-Exit variable on 0TCAIPROV

Question

Hello,
we're currently working on the migration of 3.x reporting authorizations into the new analysis authorizations.
Because of the existing requirements we have to have different analysis authorizations on different infoproviders and we want to use infoobject 0TCAIPROV to do this.
But since we have a lot of infoproviders we don't want to maintain the relevant infoproviders in each analysis authorization and because we cannot use infoareas to assign the infoproviders we have created a customer-exit variable for 0TCAIPROV that produces the list of relevant inforpoviders.
So far, so good. But when running queries with this authorization we always the EYE001: No authorization for InfoProvider. So we debugged the query and saw that the customer-exit is being processed. But it seems that the infoprovider check does not support customer-exit variables.
Does anybody have experience with this? Has anybody done this?
Regards,
Jens

Hi,
we have the same issue with the test of autho assignement (manual).
Function module can help you: rsec_get_auth_for_user.
The Autho for a user is  in the class S_RS_AUTH:
We try by this way:
data: wa_rsecval type rsecval,
      ta_rsecval type table of rsecval,
      wa_rsecval2 type rsecval,
      ta_rsecval2 type table of rsecval,
      wa_rsecuserauth type rsecuserauth,
      ta_rsecuserauth type table of rsecuserauth.
Autorisations with object w_iobjnm.
  select * from  rsecval
           into  table ta_rsecval
           where tctiobjnm = w_iobjnm.
Autorisations with l'infoprovider.
  if w_infoprov is not initial.
    select * from  rsecval
             into  table ta_rsecval2
             where tctiobjnm = '0TCAIPROV'.
  endif.
  w_subrc = 4.
Assignment cherch
  select * from  rsecuserauth
           into  table ta_rsecuserauth
           where uname = sy-uname.
Hope it help's
