The matrix you will have to create yourselve, but some hints:

create roles for:

A Readers

B Query creators

C Query publishers

Limit these roles based on access to InfoProviders

and from there limit it on the custom object you created for the Company code.

example a role would be reader on infoprovider Z.... (f.e. HR data) in company A

Most important the business has to decide upon what restricition is needed (so what InfoProviders (kind of data) should be seperated from which users and the same goes for Companies which can be mixed and which should be seperated

Hi Vijay,

role matrix is not possible, it all depends on the your project requirement. you should sit down with you Functional Consultants and decide the matrix.

But to give you some information on BW, it is not Transaction based. BW is completely object based like resticting Info Providers, Info Objects, etc....

To implement Org level restriction, you will have to create 'Custom Reporting Objects ' using Transaction RSSM.
