My organization is trying to deliver on "Self Service"

One question I have is how do we provision users to different roles? In our environment we have a BI development team, Business Analysts that support Program Officers, Program Officer, Executive Management. For the Program Officers and Executives we simply want to give them dashboard reports with filter options. For the BI Team we want full developer roles to build data foundations and create universes. For the Business Analyst, we want them to be able to build custom reports, ad hoc reports, etc for their Program Officer based on a subject area/universe. In my estimation, these are 3 different roles with unique privileges: 1) BI Developer, 2) Power User and 3) Read Only Authenticated User.

Our organization recently converted to BOBJ. I have been searching the literature and may have missed an obvious method for provisioning user roles. If you have a method/best practice for this, I would greatly appreciate guidance.

Did you got any chance to check my blogs on Setting up security? https://blogs.sap.com/2014/09/12/businessobjects-administration-setting-up-security-model-an-easy-wa...

Before setting up automatic user provisioning, You need to setup the foundation (Definition of Subject area/Department, Usergroups,
User roles (Custom access levels)). Once this is done you can create a custom application may be a web page from where users can request for access.

Use this as a reference https://blogs.sap.com/2018/03/06/automatic-password-reset-application-for-sap-businessobjects-bi-4.x...

You need to create custom access level based on the roles you have created. Assign the access levels to the group ,instead of each individual users. Please follow below link for BI admin documentation.
