User is not authorized

Question

Hi,
I have a reqt where i have to create auth on 2 info object namely location and region. I have done following steps but when i run the query i get "user is not authorized" error
1: Made location authorization relevant and in navigational attribute checked region as authorization relelvant
2: In rsecadmin , created analysis authorization for location and region specifying the value and also provided the 3 other 0TCT* auth.
3: Creater a role with auth object s_rs_auth and assigned the created analysis auth. Also added 2 auth object s_rs_comp with full auth except display and execute and s_rs_comp1 since queries are build by other person
4: assigned this role to the user
5: when i run the query i see the reqd  5 location and 1 region in variable input help but when i execute it gives me "user is not authorized" error.
Please let me know if i miss any step or how can i get the data
Thanks

Hello prashant,
It is possible with Analysis authorization. You're just probably missing something...
First of all realize that in your first step:
1: Made location authorization relevant and in navigational attribute checked region as authorization relelvant
assigning a characteristic as authorizationRelevant and assigning an attribute as authorizathionRelevant are two distinct things.
So please check the authorization created under RSECADMIN that you've included authorization for the characteristic "location" and also for the characteristic "location__region" (and not for "region"!)
If so you do have to check what is missing:
check transaction RSECADMIN -> Analysis -> Execute as... to analyze the system authorization check.
Please test that... It would show the sql code that lacks for authorization, there you can see what characteristic (and values accessed and assigned) are missing.
