RA Simulation on Profiles with "Include Users" Option

[former_member325725]

Hi ,

We have SAP RAR 5.3 SP8 P1.

When running the Risk Analysis simulation for profiles/roles, we are presented with an option to set Yes/No for "Include Users" .

Can somebody explain how this flag setting affects the simulation and what we can expect in the report?

With "Include Users" set to Yes, are we expected to see the users with the combination / one of the profiles???.

We are trying to simulate permission level risk analysis for profiles. So the simulation Values are set to check another profile with:

Exclude Values - No

Risk From Simulation Only - No

Include Users - Yes

Include Composite Roles - No

Once we set "Include Users" to Yes, we can only run the simulation as a background job. But unable to see any user info in the results. Hope somebody can explain what the report is expected to display.

Thanks,

Anil

Update on the option...

If we choose "include users" it runs risk analysis on the Role Level and also on all users assigned to that role. Basically, it will trigger/schedule two jobs, one for Role level and other one for User level

We were doing an RA on the profile level and it seems the option doesn't work with profiles. We wud be moving to roles soon

I am not logged on, but from memory this was an option to include "Reference Users" in the analysis. This means, authorizations (not profiles or roles!) are assigned indirectly via another user whos access I can inherit.

If it makes no difference and is refering to the reference user concept, then obviously you do not have any reference users...

Are you sure about this? You are building manual profiles?
