Unable to restrict access to Query Designer

Former Member

Hello,


We are facing an strange issue related to BI authorizations. We have to

restrict users in query designer such that they cannot edit any query

with the name starting from Z*. They should be able to copy the Z*

queries to Y* names and should have full access to edit these Y* queries only.

But the problem is that as soon as we give access to edit the Y* queries to these users they have access to edit Z* queries as well. In the ST01

trace we found that there is a dummy check on S_RS_COMP object for all

the fields except ACTVT. Hence if we give access to ACTVT=02 they have

change access for all the queries Z* as well as Y*.


The trace looks like this:`

S_RS_COMP  RC=4  RSINFOAREA= ;RSINFOCUBE= ;RSZCOMPTP= ;RSZCOMPID= ;ACTVT=06;

S_RS_COMP  RC=0  RSINFOAREA= ;RSINFOCUBE= ;RSZCOMPTP= ;RSZCOMPID= ;ACTVT=02;

As you can see  it doesn’t check for any values in RSZCOMPID which is the most important field where the restriction is in place. 

This is not normal, as I do remember there was always a check on this field and we could have easily restricted this user.

Note: I am able to perform edit operation with this user for Z* queries but if I try to do “Save As” it will not save any query in the Z* format it will give no authorization error message. This is good as it lets you save this only in Y* format. Hence my restriction only works while copying this query to some other name only.
