Description

The concept of reporting authorizations has been replaced by the new concept of analysis authorizations.

More information: Analysis Authorizations

General Practices with Migration

If you want to use the new concept for analysis authorizations and want to convert the existing reporting authorizations, you can use migration help. However, in most cases, you will still need to do some manual work.

For information about migrating reporting authorizations, see Migration of Reporting Authorizations to the New Concept.

Approach for Continued Use of Reporting Authorizations

Although we recommend that you change to the new concept as of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, you can still continue to use the previous concept. In doing so, you must note the following:

By default, the new concept is active. You can switch this in Customizing at SAP Customizing Implementation Guide ® SAP NetWeaver  ® Business Intelligence  ® Reporting-relevant Settings  ® General Reporting Settings  ® Select Analysis Authorization Concept.

The Customizing setting under SAP Customizing Implementation Guide ® SAP NetWeaver ® Business Intelligence ® General BI Settings ® Authorization Settings is now obsolete. As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, the authorizations for MultiProviders are always checked by authorization object S_RS_MPRO, regardless of the setting in Customizing. You must therefore ensure that users have authorization for authorization object S_RS_MPRO where applicable.
