Reporting Auths get switched on automatically?

Question

We have 0COMP_CODE made "authorization relevant" in our BW system, and have set up a custom auth object in RSSM, switched it on for specific InfoProviders ("Check for InfoCubes".  We do not have it switched on system-wide, only in specific cubes.
Everything works as we expect, except that whenever new InfoProviders are created that contain 0COMP_CODE, it seems that the RSSM "Check for InfoCubes" automatically gets switched on for that cube!  Is this what others of you have observed?  What has sometimes happened to us then is the InfoCube gets transported with this switch turned on even if we never intended the authorization to be active in this cube.
Just wondering if this is the way it is supposed to work - if others of you have faced this issue.
Thanks,
Chris

hi Chris,
yes, it's the way it works,
oss note 746811
Automatic assignment of Custom Auth objects to new infoproviders
Symptom
If an InfoProvider is recreated and then activated, all of the relevant reporting authorization objects are automatically activated for this InfoProvider.
Other terms
Authorization object, create, activate, InfoProviders, InfoCubes, RSSM RSSTOBJDIR
Reason and Prerequisites
<b>This is due to strict security guidelines</b>, which prohibit data from being displayed until it is explicitly permitted.
Solution
The security guidelines cannot be altered.
If you do not require an authorization check, you must once again deselect the reporting authorization objects that were made; make this deselection in transaction RSSM under "Check for InfoProviders" --> "Change".
