Problem in accessing query

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am facing a strange problem when working with BI 7.0, can you please help me out.

One user is facing some authorization problem while executing queries, he is using query through BEX.

In order to analyse when i copy his user id and when i go to BEX I am not able to find those queries which original user is able to see.

Is there any specific reason for this .

Hi Rakesh,

Hi Jaya,

No, here my problem is not regarding the authorization due to which user is not able to execute the query.

But if a user is able to see some queries through his BEx then copy of his user should also be allowed to see

those queries right.

Is there any way possible through which we can make copied user not able to see query of the original user.

Hi Rakesh,

We have an authorization object S_RS_COMP1 which ll provide access to queries based on the owner of the query. In that if the owner field is set to $USER the user can see only the queries created by him.

When u copy the user all the authorizations will be transferred and now the second user ll be able to see only queries created by him and cannot see the queries built by First user.

Check if any of the roles assigned to user use this particular authorization object and check the owner field value.

This could be one reason. If this is not the case, we will check for any other option.

Hi Jaya,

for object S_RS_COMP1, user has full access. It is not restricted as mentioned by you.

Rakesh,

After copying the user with all his roles, if u check any of the role assigned to him in PFCG u observe the 'User' tab in this role in yellow status. Only when u did user comparison it turns to green.

Just try doing user comparison atleast for the role which is providing access to the query mentioned by you. Because without doing user comparison,some times the properties wont get activated properly.

Have u checked values for S_RS_COMP1 in all the roles assigned?

Can i know some more details? like how many roles assigned to that particular user...If this is less in number we can track each and every authorization object in all the roles..

Hi Jaya,

There are more roles assigned to user, and in every role object has * access.

I have checked in all roles which are assigned to user which has S_RS_COMP1.

Good Day Rakesh,

Since you are using BI 7.0 and so the first user access might be given from RSECADMIN Analysis Authorisation, if the query access is given from this then when you copy the user, the new user wont be getting access to queries which are assigned through Analysis Authorisation. So, please check the query access user has from transaction RSECADMIN.

go to user section and click on assign enter the user name and click on display and check if both the users have the access to same queries.

Follow these steps and see if this helps.

Please give ur comments if this was helpfull or not.

These steps are only if you have used analysis authorisations access.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for your reply, but we have used only role based authorizations.

so i hope this might not be the reason.

Thanks,

Hi Rakesh,

Please check with user, users some time execute workbooks which stored in their history, and when you copied for new user it will not appear in history of new user, First try to find that query through path for e.g., Roles - > Folder.... > query....
