How can I stop a user from saving over "standard" workbooks in a role?

Hello -
We are using BEx Analyzer 7.0.
I need help restricting our regular users so they can only save workbooks to their favorites and cannot override workbooks published to roles by our super users / authors.
My understanding is the regular users need the following in order to save workbooks to favorites.
S_GUI Activity = 60
S_BDS_DS Activities = 03 and 30 Class Type = OT
These users are able to save to their favorites.
However, if they open a workbook from a role and then just choose Save -> Workbook, it allows them to save their changed version of the workbook over the "standard" workbook that was published to the role for all users.
What can I do to only allow them to save to their favorites and not be able to override the standard workbooks in regular roles?
Our super user / authors have the following security to allow them to publish to roles.
S_USER_AGR with Activities = 01, 02 and 06 (Create, Change and Delete)
Our regular users have
S_USER_AGR but only with activities 03 and 08 (Display and Display Changes)
Any help that can be provided would be greatly appeciated. This is very frustrating.
Thank you -
Ann

Hello Anne,
Inspite of restricting the authorisation object S_BDS_DS you are not able to restrict the users in overwriting the workbooks, please implement the note 1167094 in your system.
Implementing this note with the help of yout BASIS team would surely fix your issue.
Let me know if this helps. Thanks.

How to open a workbook in BEx 700

Hi Friends,
Is there a way to open a workbook in BEx, just knowing its ID and name?
Workbook is not saved in a role, psooibly in favourites of a user. In 3.5 using FM RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL
was a way to achieve this.
Any ideas?
Regards
Joe

Hi again,
First of all thanks for answers.
Please let ne give a short explanetion of my issue:
i'm BW Admin, we are currently "moving" from 3.5 to 7.0. My problem is, that I'm missing al ot of ueseful tools, provided in 3.5.,
not longer available in 7.0, as you can see form my threads in the past. In all of the long years of working in IT, I never expeienced such a step back and a lack od conbienence intrducing a new release of any software.
However, one of my users is spending his holidays and a collegue just wants to run a workbook obviously saved
in his favourites. And I'm still searching for a possibilty for achieving this in a easy way, without changing settings in
user administration (copying favourites copying ,even etire user....).
Thanks and Regards

Adding workbook in Bex Browser

Hi
My requirement is i have to add a new workbook under a particular role in Bex Browser How can i do that please help with the steps
Thanks
Sheetal

Sheetal,
Bear in mind that you will need designer access to add a workbook to a role.
Do you know you can also add a workbook to a role from the BEx Analyser? When you workbook is to be saved just select Save - New Workbook - and place it in the required role. It will appear in the Browser in that role.

When trying to save a workbook to a role, no role available

Hello. We have followed the directions of creating a role for saving workbooks from help.sap.com. When going into save the new workbook via Bex Analyzer the role that we created is not available to save a workbook. In fact, no roles show up.
We are using BW 3.1 with 3.3 content.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete

Hi,
As I understand, the user saving the query will need to have the role assigned to his id. He/she can save the query in any of the roles in which his id is assigned.
It is likely that userid you are using doesn't have this role assigned (you can assign it in PFCG).
cheers,
Ajay

Arrange workbooks in BEx Browser

Hi all,
We are facing a problem arranging the workbooks in BEx Browser. In some folders we have many workbooks and these are just sitting on top of another. I tried to arrange them manually or with the properties option, but even then we still have many workbooks and the Users are having a tough time looking at them. I do not see any scroll bars that will make the window grow according to the number of workbooks.
Do we have a option to set up the scroll bar in the Browser window so that the workbooks wont overlap or any other option to list the workbooks.
Thanks,
Prabhu.

Hi,
You can assign workbooks to roles and assign roles to users. After that a person can login to the Bex Browser and based on the roles that he/she has see only those workbooks.
using tcode PFCG you can create what you want: assign roles to specific users. after saving workbooks under role and a role's menu item a user depending on his/her roles will see only what was allowed.

Workbook without Assigned Roles

Dear BI Experts,
I need your help to assign a workbook in the workbook storage of the server, back into a roles folder. Here is my scenario:
I created a new workbook and assigned it to a role in Dev.
My Dev system got a system refresh from my Prod system. Before the system refresh, I saved my workbook into a transport, and then re-applied it back to Dev after system refresh. The issue here is that I did not save the roles folder of the workbook into the transport.
So now, after I re-applied the transport to Dev, the workbook exist in the server, but not in the role folder. When I ran BEx and try to find the workbook in Dev, it could not find the workbook.
I ran RSWB_ROLES_REORG program, and the workbook is listed as Workbook in the workbook storage, but not in any roles folder (Unused). I also ran function module RSBB_WORKBOOK_AGR_GET and did not see the role in the E_T_AGR table.
Please provide me the steps to assign the workbook in the server to a role folder.
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
Kevin--

You can assign the workbook to a role directly in the Role Maintenance screen (tcode PFCG).
Go to the Menu tab there in change mode and choose the folder into which you want to put the workbook. Click on the 'Report' button at the top of the Menu screen, then choose the 'BW Report' radio button.
You can then enter the 'Report ID' (i.e., Workbook ID) of the desired workbook. (You may want to look this up in advance in the Admin Workbench using the Metadata Repository --> Workbook option.)
The workbook will then appear in the role menu with a "default" name of something like "New Report", which can be changed to the correct description for the workbook.
Hope this helps...
Bob

Assigning a workbook to the role

Hi Gurus,
We are using NW2004s and are in front end patch 12.
We have created a workbook role to assign all our workbooks, however Iam unable to find an option to assign these workbooks to the role. In earlier versions (3.x) there was a role icon in Bex Analyzer which we use to use to assign the workbooks, Iam not seeing this icon anymore in BI7. Can someone quide on how to assign this.
Thanks!

I can see publish query To Role, To Portal & BEx broadcaster, this will publish my query. My need is to publish or assign workbook to a role. When you log in through Bex Analyzer, you have two options 1). Open Query, 2). Open workbook., If you choose Open workbook, you can see all workbooks created. I would like to assign these workbooks to a role. Otherwise these workbooks will be saved in the favourites and no one else can view this other then me.

Save Workbook in a role in SAP BI

Hi All,
I'm facing an issue in SAP BI 7.0 Security . I have created a Workbook role for a user which she is not able to view when she goes to RRMX>Save Workbook> . The user has all the required authorizations and she can see all the other workbook roles but there is just one role which she can't get in the list when she tries to save workbooks in it.
She can see the role otheriwse in the tab roles.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Manisha Nadir

Hi,
If you have no authorizations for update a role, you will not see it when trying to save a workbook(s_user_agr with activity 01,02,06 and the name of the role or * is needed). I made a special role for saving workbooks and also had the name of it in s_user_agr, you will find this when save the workbook in save workbook as and if there is already an other workbook in the role you will also see this in the option add a workbook to a role.
It is also possible that the workbook is called from history or favorites and if you then will save it you need a role as described before.
It is advisable to try this out with the trace on in st01. I noticed that depending of queries and workbooks saving, it uses s_rfc, s_cts_admi(tabl), s_rs_tools (themes for workbooks and webpublish is also an option) and the object in previous answers from this thread.
I noticed that if you start a query from roles, that only the roles with queries are shown, the same for workbooks.
Have fun

Assigning a BEx role to BSP - BSP application is missing in PFCG

Hi everybody,
at first I will describe our problem.
We constructed a mixed environment web application, consisting out of a BSP application and WAD web templates. Unfortunately the url of web templates and the bsp-application differs - meaning the server is the same, but the port is different. That's why it is not easy to link the application each other, because for transportation reasons, we would like to have relative url paths.
After searching the SDN and reading several help files I draw the conclusion, that I have to put my BSP application into a BEx role. Correct? If anybody has a better approach, please raise your hand now!
So, I tried to create a role for my BSP application in the transaction PFCG. To specify the target I choosed entry type OTHER and BSP application. But in the appearing list of all BSP applications, my application was missing.
I really wondered about it, because similar BSPs from other authors within the sap/bc/bsp - folder appeared in the list.
Question: What are the prerequisites that a BSP application is available in the PFCG transaction?
Thanks for any comments and helps
Best regards,
Sebastian

Hi Raja,
thank you for your quick reply.
you are looking at constructing the BW WAD url and call it from BSP, however the host address (port) differs and coz of that you cannot use relative urls.
Almost. I'm actually searching for the other way round. I want to call the BSP in an inlineframe of a WAD web template. But its exactly that port change issue, that causes the problem.
My BSP application is located in a subfolder of default_host/sap/bc/bsp/ ?
There are other BSPs in that folder which already appear in the PFCG transaction under OTHER.
Best regards,
Sebastian

Save workbook in a role

I have created a role "A" that permite save workbook. I have included the authorization objects:
S_BDS_DS
Activity *
Rolename *
Class type OT
S_USR_TCS
Transaction code: RRMX
S_GUI
Activity 60
S_USER_AGR
Activity *
Name of function *
But when I try save new workbook only role "A" appears. I´d like save workbook in another role... for example "B". It´s possible?
Regards
Daniel

Hi,
The roles are avialable to assign the workbooks or queries to it if and only if it has atleast a worrkbook/Query has been assigned to it already. So I hope, you role B does not has any workbook or query assigned to it. So by PFCG assign a junk workbook to it. And once you complete this assignment in PFCG then you can see Role B in the SAVE option.Once you comlete the saving required work book to it remove the junk workbook by PFCG.
