BW Authorization - Most confidential data

40 Views

Hello All,

Weu2019re assessing a problem at the moment whereby for one of our projects there is a need to store and report on data in BW which is classed as u2018Most Confidentialu2019 (MC). Now the security solutions that have recently been suggested involve users being prompted for a username and password when they access our BW system via the Portal, however this will affect all users and not the 5% of users who will be reporting on MC data. Moreover, a given user will only be reporting on MC data depending on the variables they choose in the variable screen. Therefore it makes more sense to implement additional security on certain tables containing MC data rather than at a higher level (which will unnecessarily affect more users). Could anyone in this group has implemented a similar security solution before or has any suggestions please?

Requirements are to put security around data in SAP BW/Tables (presumably Infocubes?) and the Reports accessing this data.

Is this something that can be addressed with standard SAP Authorisations?

If so, what would be the high level design?

Regards,

Ahmad
