User Management - Restrict data upload from Excel Add-In

Former Member

Dear community,

for an upcoming test phase I am trying to make sure that no "unwanted" (e.g. mistakingly edited) data gets uploaded into the IBP system. One idea that came to mind is the restriction of data upload for the Excel Add-In. Is there any possibility in the IBP 5.0 or 6.x user role management to restrict data upload for users? Meaning that they are only able to work in scenarios, but can't save data on the database. Thank you very much for your replies and help.

Kind regards,

Katrin

Hi Katrin

This should be possible from 6.x onwards.

Check the following link (restricted and unrestricted)

Hi Vivek,

and thank you very much again for your reply. I read through the specifications and found the following interesting part for version-specific key figures:

"If you grant read access for a version but you allow simulation for the version, you allow users to create user-defined scenarios by copying that version"

Do you think something similar could be possible for "normal" key figures, meaning allowing the users only to read the key figure but also allowing simulation? If yes, could that already be done in the current 5.0 system?

Thank you,

Katrin

Hi Katrin

5.0 has a bit different mechanism, http://help.sap.com/download/ibp/ibp50_security_guide.pdf  see page 18 for KF.

And if the feature is available for version, I think it probably should be available for baseline as well.

I haven't tested it yet, and so cannot confirm.
