Member Access Profile in BPC

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have some doubts w.r.t Member access profile in BPC. We have Entity and Category as secured dimension. Entity is read only (All members). Category is R/W (All members).

1) If i add a third row, and deny only one base member of Entity, whether it will work fine? Which definition system will accept? Read or deny?

2) In the above scenario, if i run the report on summary node of hierarchy (which has a denied base member), whether i will be able to read the values at summary node level.

3) When i say Entity members are read only .. cant i do input using input schedules for those entities?

4) How we need to copy these BPC authorizations to BI in BPC 7.0 (NW). Do we need to recreate these authorization concept in BI or the authorizations i define in BPC 7.0 (NW) are valid for BI also. In this case, if i run a report on BPC cubes using query designer in BI, how authorizations are checked?

Please suggest.

Thanks/regards,

Hello experts,

Is there a way to full upload the member access profiles to BPC if you already have them in a Excel sheet for example??.

Hello guys,

I found this How to Use the BPC MASS USER MANAGEMENT TOOL guide

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d0cdbccf-0def-2d10-298d-f4223de9a6ed

Take a look of it if you have a similar question.

Hi Lokesh

I will try to answer your questions:

1+2) If you give read/write access to a "Parentmember" all these settings are applied to all childs of this member. So if you give Read Access to a Parent the User will be able to see everything under this Member.

3) If you have Read Only on a Member, you cant send Data to the Database via Inputschedule.

If you have Read Only on the whole Entity Dimension you cant do any posting in the whole cube, regardless of the settings in Category Dimension (but I think this is clear in Multidimensional Systems)

4) Unfortunatly in Germany the RampUmp Version of BPC7NW is still not shipped, so I cant answer on this point

Hi Jorg,

Thanks for suggestions.

Below is our member access profile setup for finance application for our user id:

R&W - Category - All members

Read only - Entity - All members

Denied - Entity - Store3

1+2) When we give read/write access to a "Parentmember" all these settings are applied to all children of this node. But when we add a third row as Denied for a particular member, then that member is not visible in the CV.

3) We have given Read Only for Entity. But we are able to send Data to the Database via Inputschedule. So we are confused here.

Hi Jorg,

We got the clue. Earlier we defined Entity as secured and not as R/W at application level. Thatz why it allowed us to send values via input schedules even though entity is read only. Thanks for your suggestions. It really helped.

Hi,

Go to SECURITY - MEMBER ACCESS PROFILE and give read/write access to the new application (it will appear as a separate TAB). Then click on your application set name on the left side in your BPC admin screen. On the right hand pane, set the availability status as AVAILABLE. Use CONNECTION WIZARD to login. You issue will be resolved.
