Unable to restrict access to allow Write and Read for different data sets.

507 Views

I have a Business Planner role that allows a broad amount of access to users that perform multiple job functions. I have been trying to restrict the role to be able to have Write access to some items and Read access to a broader group of materials. I have had no luck doing this so far despite multiple combinations of settings and SAP note recommendations. The IBP Security Aspects has an example of where this should work.

For the Business Role, I have the Key Figure ID set to Unrestricted in the Write section per note 2634325.

I do not have Permission Filters set on the role for Write or Read. Based on note 27709286, if you have two planning filters on a role, the access will default to the filter with the broader amount of access, regardless if it’s on the Read or not.

If I set the permission filter up with just Read Access, I am still able to make and save changes. With the permission filter set up this way, it does restrict access based off Division and Product Line. However, the Permission Filter is set to No Access for Write.

The other thing I find odd is that when I try to set the Permission Filter up with a Location ID restriction, it will pull up no data in the Excel Add-in despite there being data available.
