Data Access Restriction in Webi via Infocube/Multiprovider

Question

Hi All,
As we know that Row level security is not available in OLAP universe, the approach for data level restriction is to creat roles at BI level.
I have Query regarding the same.
If I m creaing my universe on top of Infocube or multiprovider.
I have 2 users, User1 and User2.
Now if I want User1 should see data for CostCentre = UK,India.
User2 should see data for CostCentre = US, UK,India
Here are my queries:
1) Will User1 and User2 be able to see the data level access in Webi Report based on the their Login?
2) If I creat the Prompt on "CostCentre" in Webi then, will User1 see Lov as {UK,India} and Will the User2 see Lov as {US, UK,India}
If Data level access cannot be achieved in Webi via universe created on top of Infocube/Multiprovider then what is the approach to do so?
Regards,
Nisha

Hi,

>> The recommendation path is to use BW queries with the necessary Authorization Variables leveraging your BI Authorizations.
I have 2 users, User1 and User2.
Now if I want User1 should see data for CostCentre = UK,India.
User2 should see data for CostCentre = US, UK,India
>> This is part of BI Authorizations in BW.
Here are my queries:
1) Will User1 and User2 be able to see the data level access in Webi Report based on the their Login?
>> assuming you follow the 2 steps mentioned above (Query and authorization variables) - yes
If Data level access cannot be achieved in Webi via universe created on top of Infocube/Multiprovider then what is the approach to do so?
