Reporting Authorizations

Reporting Authorizations
- Delivered with SAP NetWeaver 7.0
- Mandatory with SAP NetWeaver 7.3

With SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3 the old concept for reporting authorizations is no longer supported. You now need to migrate to the enhanced analysis authorizations concept already introduced in SAP NetWeaver 7.0.
