Hi

We're having a discussion regarding BI Authorization and aggregared levels.

The authorization is on both level "0PLANT" and 0PURCH_ORG" and the discussion is about to put in colon for aggregated authorization.

Is there any risk with this? Could this be equivalent with "star" in som cases on aggregated level? or is it totaly safe to fut this value?

HI Jacob,

: is not considered as a star value. In fact  ':' is used to pass the authorization check that happens when auth relevant characteristic is present in the Info provider/Multi provider on which the report is built on and we don't want to restrict the report on that characteristic ( Info object)  but also did not want to give star value. hence its absolutely safe to use ':' for those info objects.

Thanks,

Kalpana.
