Plant and Hierarchy authorization

[Former Member]

We have created 0plant authorization object - ZStore.

Now when we assign user with zstore object and provide * for plants, all report works.

but when we restrict user to say plant Ids, then report will work only if report don't have hierarchy activated for plant info-object.

we have checked the user authorizations also. S_RS_Hier is also given with *

but still whenever report has hier for plant and access to certain plants are given, report shows authorization failed.

Try adding the ":" in the 0Plant, to enable aggregated values to be seen. Put also an authorization variable on the plant char in the query.

thanks for quick reply.

but we need bit more details on this. it look like authorization object created for 0plant don't have anything related with hier used.

we were checking help.sap.com for authorization object. but some more help will be very useful

putting ":" in the authorization object enables the user to see aggregated values on the relevant object.

Try first to display the query without the hierarchy, and check if there is a variable for restricting the 0PLant. BW does not apply automatically the authorizations, you have to explicitely describe it.
