Authorisations in SAP BW

Access to sensitive data must be restricted to specific users

  1. How can I protect my critical data against unauthorised access?
  2. How can I be sure that a user will only see data that he/she is permitted to see?

The PIKON Solution:

We can help you identify all authorisation relevant characteristics and structures. We can determine the requirements of all concerned and separate the essential from the non-essential. We can work together to develop a concept and implement it.

With the introduction of a new release, i will have to adapt my authorisations concept

  1. Which authorisations concept is correct?
  2. When do I have to change something and what do I have to look out for?
  3. Are there disadvantages and restrictions if I continue using the old concept?
  4. What advantages are there for me to transfer to the new concept?

The PIKON Solution:

We can help you transfer your previous authorisations concept in 3.X into a new concept. After a thorough analysis, we will compare cost and associated benefit and find an affordable, tailored solution.

It should only be possible for my reports and BW specific objects to be posted and changed by certain people

  1. How can I prevent unauthorised users from changing my reports and objects in BW?
  2. Can I apply these questions to different namespaces?

The PIKON Solution:

Within the framework of the authorisations concept, we will establish which BW reports and objects can be defined or altered by specific user groups. We will clarify these requirements with the business units and also agree this with the IT department.

Increasing demands on the authorisations requirements makes everything more complicated

  1. How can I model complex requirements for the authorisation concept in the system in the simplest possible way?
  2. How can granting permissions be made as simple and as flexible as possible?

The PIKON Solution:

We can discuss your requirements against the associated affect on performance, complexity and effort in the role definition and user maintenance. Together, we can develop a concept that covers the necessary requirements, but nevertheless still remains manageable.

By using the portal and various BusinessObjects tools, the authorisations become even more complex.

  1. What has to be considered in terms of authorisation if BW reports are to be displayed in the portal or one wants to create BusinessObjects reports?

The PIKON Solution:

Together, we will agree the different options, prospects and needs of the BI tools used. From here we will develop a concept and implement it.
