authorization issue with report on "Char data target"

[Former Member]

Hi,

we've a characteristic ZCHAR inserted as data target.

user is not able to execute a report created on this "Characteristic data target".

error is as follows : "Error : You are not authorized to use ZCHAR".

Could some one advise how to resolve this issue & what authorizations need to be assigned to this user.

<b>PS: same user has no problems running other reports created on infocube & ODS.

also, this characteristic data target is not "authorization relevant" in the info object definition.</b>

appreciate your help.

I've following profile assigned to user.

S_RS_ICUBE - Administrator Workbench - InfoCube

Activity : All activities

InfoCube Subobject : All values

InfoArea : *

InfoCube : *

Hari,

Could you also check the S_RS_IOBJ object and see what the settings are.

Gova,

thanks for your reply.

profile doesn't have any authorization object S_RS_IOBJ.

looks like this is the problem.

I quickly tested with this object on a dummy profile & it worked with following settings. Is this correct just for reporting?

Object S_RS_IOBJ

Activity Display

InfoObject ZCHAR

InfoObject catalog *

Subobject of InfoObject Data

That should do it Hari.

Make sure "Subobject of InfoObject Data" is set to DATA only

Good Luck
