1. MODELING
Difference between rssm and rsecadmin

RSSM

RSECADMIN

Old transaction: RSSM Concept of authorization: 'Reporting Authorization' Assignement of Reporting authorization:* by pfcg: mass distribution of auth by using role by rssm: generation way (use with Business Content and flat files loading)

New transaction : RSECADMIN Concept of authorization: 'Analysis Authorization' Assignement of Analysis authorization :* by pfcg: mass distribution of auth by using role, by rsecadmin: manual way -> Assignement -> Auth selection ->Insert, by rsecadmin: generation way (use with Business Content and flat files loading) Full Authorization: SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW 0BI_ALL: * Allow full authorization for the IO authorization relevant, Used in the authorization object: S_RS_AUTH, Report 'RSEC_GENERATE_BI_ALL' for the SAP_ALL user,

Full Authorization: SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW

Modeling:* IO marked as Authorization relevant, rssm enable to flag relevant infoprovider, rssm are used to custom Auhthorization object, Authorization variable are used in Bex Query, Pfcg to assign reporting authorization trough the Object class: RSR, Query access manage by object S_RS_COMP, S_RS_COMP1, Area Button/ Access : S_RS_FOLD, Authorization for Cube, ODS, Hierarchy and infoset managed by: S_RS_ICUBE, S_RS_ODSO, S_RS_HIER, S_RS_ISET.

Modeling:* IO + Navigation ATTR can be Authorization relevant, An IO auth relevant is auth relevant for all the cube he is used, rsecadmin to define Analysis authorization with sepcial IO : 0TCAACTVT, 0TCAIPROV, 0TCAVALID, Authorization variable are used in Bex Query, pfcg to assign analysis authorization through the object S_RS_AUTH (Object Class: RS), Query access manage by object S_RS_COMP, S_RS_COMP1, Area Button/ Access : S_RS_FOLD, Authorization for Cube and ODS for reporting user are managed by the special authorization characteristic 0TCAIPROV, S_RS_ICUBE, S_RS_ODSO, S_RS_HIER, S_RS_ISET: are not checked anymoe for reporting user. S_RS_ICUBE, S_RS_ODSO, S_RS_HIER, S_RS_ISET: are used for allowing access to developper team, New object to manage acess for developper

user: New object authorization for Web application Designer & Report Designer:* S_RS_BTMP, S_RS_BITM, S_RS_ERPT, S_RS_EREL.

Step by Step
RSSM 0. Pre-requisites Activate all business content related to authorizations before you get started:* InfoObjects: 0TCA* and 0TCT* InfoCubes: 0TCA* Set the following InfoObjects as "authorization relevant":* 0TCAACTVT 0TCAIPROV 0TCAVALID 0TCAKYFNM (optional, if key figure restriction needed) Add 0TCAIFAREA as an external hierarchy characteristic to 0INFOPROV (optional) 1. Set Master data Authorization relevant RSA1 -> InfoObjects -> Business Explorer Tab -> Flag 'Authorization relevant RSA1 -> InfoObjects -> Business Explorer Tab -> Flag 'Authorization relevant RSA1 -> InfoObjects > Attribute Tab -> Flag 'AuthorizRelevant' RSECADMIN

2. Create Authorization Object/ Analysis authorization 3. Set Infoprovider

RSSM -> Enter the name of your Authorization object -> Create -> Put IO Authorization relevant in the selected InfoObjects part -> Save RSSM -> Select: 'Check for InfoCubes' -> Change -> Flag the related InfoCubes The IO authorization relevant are authorization relevant for all cubes

4. Create BEX variable for authorization

1. Right click on the IO -> choose 'Restrict' 2. Choose 'Selection' = 'Single Value' and 'from Hierarchy' = 'flat list' If a hierarchy exists, select the hierarchy for the IO 3. Go on the variables tab -> Right click -> 'New variable' 4. For a restriction without hierarchy, the type of variable is 'Characteristic Value' and if you have choose a hierarchy, the type of variable is 'Hierarchy node' 5. Select a variable name & a description 6. Choose 'Processing by': = 'Authorization' then check the characteristic and click 'next' 7. Choose the display area for the variable -> Variable represents: = 'Single Value' or 'Selection Option' 8. Choose if the variable entry is Optional or mandatory, 9. Don't select 'Ready for input' and 'Can be changed in query navigation 10. Next to the end

5. Insert Authorization in Role 6. Assign Authorization/ Role to Users
