Overview: Authorization
Objects 
There are two object classes in the Business Information Warehouse:
· Business Information Warehouse - Reporting
No authorization objects are delivered in this object class. You create user authorization objects for reporting as and when you require them. You can find out how to create authorization objects for the object class “Business Information Warehouse - Reporting” in the section Setting Up Reporting Authorizations.
