Administrator authorizations

[Former Member]

Hello,

In our company several administrator departments are using de administrator workbench. All for their own specific area (e.g. we have different depts. for HR and finance). I'm now trying to make some roles which makes it impossible for one dept. to change or see contents in the info-area of another dept. (e.g. Finance should not be allowed to change or see any HR data).

I thought it should be possible with authorizationobject S_RS_ADMWB. But this object does not have the possibility to enter an info-area.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Is there any documentation on this subject? I have seen a lot of documentation on report-authorization, but nothing about administrator-authorization.

We are using BW7.0 (SP12).

Best regards,

You can restrict by the authorization object P_ORGIN, This is HR object where you can restrict by the info - area and the personnel area.

Hello,

S_RS_ADMWB alone will not help you to display the object sbjects structures and data in the InfoProviders in the Admin Workbench. In BI you will have to use the reporting authorization to view the data in the infoproviders through the admin workbench.

Please use the below objects in analysis authorizations (rsecadmin) to give display access to the required data

0TCAACTVT = 03

0TCAIPROV = List of InfoProviders the FI team should have access

0TCAVALID = 07/01/2007 to 12/31/9999

Role should have:

S_RS_ADMWM: Activity=03, Workbench Object = InfoArea

S_RS_ICUBE: Activity = 03 => to view the structure of the infoproviders

The combination of the above gives the authorization that you are looking for. InfoArea is just a text, the InfoProviders under it is what should look at to view the data.

Thanks,
