SAP BW Master Data InfoObject Attributes Authorization Restriction (GDPR)

Hi BW Gurus, with GDPR coming soon I want to ask, is there a way in BW to restrict users from being able to display certain navigational and display attributes of an InfoObject in Bex Queries?

Example:

InfoObject A with attributes a, b, c.

In Bex Queries I want certain users to have access to all attributes and certain users not to be able to see attribute b and c that contain sensitive master data.

Is this supported by SAP authorization concept?

Thank you.

Hi Dimitirs,

I think the following SAP note clarifies the topic.

Good documentation:

Matthias Hi,

Thanks a lot for your answer. Finally I have managed to restrict access from Display attributes by using Analysis Authorizations as you mention (another useful SAP note: https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/761089 ). For Navigational attributes I have not managed to restrict access without filtering the report output dataset so I suppose converting them to display attributes is the only way.
