BPF dont open the data region set for Excel Template

[Former Member]

Hi experts, i have a BPF which contain a step where i put in the entity dimension a current view type "inherit from data region". This dimension have a security "READ ONLY". Well when i open this BPF, with a user (who is OWNER in the Entity dimension for specific member) the template open on diferent member than it assigned.

I set in the member access profile for this user just the member i want to he see and also set the other members "denied", however it`s still open in the member which open for default in the action pane on BPC WEB.

What i have to do to correct that?

thanks in advance

Hi,

"Inherit from Data Region" means - when you open the BPF, you need to specify members for few of the dimensions. These members can be used by specifying "inherit from data region".

For example, if, while opening the BPF, you enter USA for Entity and 2009.Total for Time. If "inherit from data region" is specified for entity dimension, then it will take USA, irrespective of the current view and the fact that the user is owner of some other dimension.

In this case, either you can take it from CV or you can specify the member explicitly while designing the BPF. However, it will not serve your purpose.

When you acces read access to the user for some entity, the user can still view the data. However, he wont be able to send data. So, restricting the view access is not possible in this case.

Hoep this helps.
