Dynamic Authorization in Analysis Authorization

Hi All,
We are planning to migrate 3.x Authorization Migration to Analsysis Authorization. We have implemeneted Dynamic Authorization
concept which is using Customer Exit Variable. Now Kindly Guide me how I can retain the the same Dynamic Authorization Concept in New Analysis Authorization.

Aggregation authorization within analysis authorizations

Hello,
The BW developers have created several queries that use aggregated data. When testing the queries with the end user ID (assigned to an end user role and analysis authorization), it is failing due to missing authorizations, particularly b/c of the following:
Supplementation of Selection for Aggregated
Characteristics
Check Added for Aggregation Authorization:     0COMP_CODE
Check Added for Aggregation Authorization:     0PLANT
All Authorizations Tested
Message EYE007: You Do Not Have Sufficient Authorization
No Sufficient Authorization for This Subselection (SUBNR)
Following CHANMIDs Are Affected:
142 ( 0COMP_CODE )
189 ( 0PLANT )
192 ( 0SALESORG )
In the BI documentation, it specifies that : (colon): allows only aggregated access to data (e.g. allows information on all sales areas only on aggregated level not on particular countries). Is this ( specified as a value within the particular characteristics? I also tried to select the "aggregation authorization" icon within txn code RSECADMIN and this did not help.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Updated: For the analysis authorization, for these characteristics, in addition to the specific values, there is an entry for ":" and this did not resolve the issue.

Problem with analysis authorization- 0BI_ALL always needed

Dear all:
we have a serious issue on so-called "analysis authorization" now. We have auth-restricted user who only have authorization to access data on one company code. We also create a BI-authorization in analysis authorization and assign the following auth-relevant object to this authorization-
0TCAACTVT = 01-03
0TCAIPROV = ALL
0TCAVALID = ALL
0TCAKYFNM = ALL
0COMP_CODE = A001
And we create one query with only company code and number of employee in the row and column. But everytime we execute this query, there s always message" No Authorization". We used ST01 to trace and the result shows we need to have "0BI_ALL" in auth object S_RS_AUTH. If we added 0BI_ALL, all company code data will display, which definitely no auth restriction at all. Is there any specific authorization setting we need to do?
We are stuck here pretty bad. Thank you all in advance if any input.

SF

Hi,
I guess the Authorization profile is active , and in the Tcode PFCG -> Role name -> User tab page ( user comparision is done ).
Check if any of the tab page shows red light .
And assignment of 0BI_ALL is not a solution , as any user can do anything in the system.
Also do not forget to log - off and log-in into system after changing into any of the authorization profile to see changes that had happened.
Hope that helps.

Analysis Authorization with SEM-BPS

Hi,
We have performed technical upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0. We want to migrate to BI 7.0 functionality phase wise.
We have SEM-BPS and now we want to migrate to Analysis Authorization of BI 7.0.
Once we have igrated to Analysis Authorization, will there be any impact on SEM-BPS? Can we still use SEM-BPS with New Analysis Authorizations? We do not want to move to BI-IP in near future?.
Please advise.
Best Regards,
UR

Dear UR,
Iu2019m going to try helping you,
In difference of reporting functionality, in planning, the data of an InfoCube is not just read; it is also changed or created.
There are two planning tools in BI: BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation), and BI Integrated Planning.
There are two main tcode: BPS0 and RSPLAN
There are three authorization objects to manage Integrated Planning:
S_RS_PL_ADMIN - Planning Administrator
S_RS_PL_PLANNER u2013 Planner
S_RS_PL_PLANMOD_D u2013 Planning Modeler (Development System)
The main object in the planning scenario is InfoCube real-time, where can available writing in small package that arrive in parallel. In some cases the security requirements for reporting and planning can be merging. In this case you need authorization object for checking planning, as authorization object above, and you need authorization object for using a query for planning requires as S_RS_COMP.
In addition to authorization for displaying data, the authorizations for changing data you need analysis authorization (the analysis authorization focus in the InfoProvider, no in Aggregation Level).
In your analysis authorization design for reporting stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 value. In the planning stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 and 02 values. As explain following:
Using the characteristics 0TCAACTVT (activity), you can restrict the authorization to different activities. Read (03) is set as the default activity; you must also assign the activity Change (02) for integrated planning.

Dynamic Analysis authorization to handle changing row level security in BW

Hi experts,
Is it possible to implement SAP BW 7.x ANALYSIS AUTHORIZATION in a dynamic manner. One example of this will be to replicate the CRM Organization model in SAP BW and display data as per organization Model.
One example would be a Manager or a Org unit able to display all Sales Orders where all employee belonging to that Org unit are maintained in those Sales Order as employee responsible. If this Org structure is static it can be easily done in BW BY Analysis authorization. But not sure about the approach when the Org structure changes in a regular interval in CRM,
Thanks for help

If you maintain the "Org structure" as a BW hierarchy, and if it always changes in CRM,
then you just need to load the hierarchy again to BW after the change in CRM.
In the analysis authorization, e.g. if you assign a user to be authorized for all nodes and leaves under a certain node A,
then it would still work even if what's below node A changes.
Hope this answers your question.
Regards,
Patricia

Patterns in analysis authorization

Dear experts,
We are on SAP BW 7.31 SP 8 using analysis authorization (AA).
First of all: I know of the limitations using patterns like * and + (Note 1053989).
Before we went to AA we used complex patterns of * in an authorization infobject that was build by 4 subpatterns separated by an _.
ABC_*_DE_*. This was used as an authorization value in the form of "I CP ABC_*_DE_*."
We used this in a customer exit fed to a query by selecting the pattern above and expanding the string with the pattern to single strings filling up the subpatterns:
Example
ABC_*_DE_* became:
ABC_01_DE_XYZ
ABC_09_DE_VGF
ABC_A1_DE_001
After migration, well, this was obvousily not working anymore (see Note above). So we have an explanantion but were STILL unsatisfied.
Why SAP allowed this BEFORE AA and went to a more restricted authorization checking now the allowed pattern (wich was not done before AA)?
I mean I something like *123 SHOULD be rejected , but the derived single strings (see example) by a customer logic should be allowed, because he KNOWS this the valid authorization.
Know, dear experts, do you have an idea how this can be solved under AA?

Hi,
for my understanding you can implement an OR operation with assigning different roles to the user.
You define an authorization object for users who have to get auth value ABC_01_DE_XYZ.
You assign this auth object to a role "ABC_01_DE_XYZ". You define another role containing a new auth object with auth value "ABC_09_DE_VGF".
You assign this role alos to the user. So he is no authorized for "01_DE" or "09_DE".
I did similar things with authorization exit variables. They have to take care that they return the correct pattern or authorized values.
In your case the authorization exit variable (which are normal Bex variables of type auth) have to return e.g. ABC_01_DE_XYZ and so on.
The new AA concept works for me much better and can be more finetuned than the old could ever be.
With authorization exit variables you can keep the concept even dynamically and reduce the number of roles. But this depends in detail on your exact requirements.

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 !
Prasad Rasam

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*

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!

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?
