Creating SAP Analytics Hub Specific Roles
You can ensure that there’s more control over the content’s lifecycle in SAP Analytics Hub. Instead of assigning the
role of Content Creator to your users, which grants all content management authorizations,
you can define two more specific variants of this role. These two roles give different
privileges, but they are interrelated.
Prerequisites
You must have a SAP Analytics Hub license in order to grant the roles
listed below.
Context
The table below provides information on what each role is meant for:
Role
|
Description
|
Content Editor
|

user who provides content in SAP Analytics
Hub.
|
Content Validator
|
Includes all authorizations to read assets, and to validate or
reject draft assets sent for review that are created by Content
Editors. Usually assigned to the user who has to check the
quality of the content displayed in SAP Analytics
Hub.

Procedure
-
On the Roles page of the Security area, choose
(New) to add a new row to the roles management
table.

In the Create New Role dialog, enter one of the
following names:

- Content_Validator
Note
Blanks are not allowed in the role name.
-
Click OK.
The role is created and a new page is displayed.

Analytics Hub Assets and Analytics Hub
Structure rows as described below:

Note
To define the Content Validator permissions, you don’t need to check any permission
related to the Analytics Hub row. For any role ceated (User or Team),
Read access is mandatory.
-
If you have already created users that should be assigned the new role, choose
(Assign Role), select one or more users in the
Assign Role to User dialog, and choose
OK.
All users that are currently assigned to the role appear in the
Selected Users list along with any new users you
select.
-
Choose (Settings) to define the
following options in the Settings dialog:
Option |
Description |
Enable Self-Service |
If you activate this option, any business user can request this role
for himself in the Request Roles dialog. |
Use as Default Role |
The default role is assigned to new users if no role is specified
when users are imported or created. |
Full Data Access |
If you activate this option, any user who is assigned this role can
see all the data of any model regardless of how the data access for
the model is defined. Recommendation Grant full data access
carefully and only to selected users.

-
Decide which type of user should approve the role request:
- Manager: The user assigned as a manager to the
user requesting the role must approve the request.
Note
The manager is
assigned to a user on the
User page in the user
management area.
- Other Users: A specific user that you select from
the dialog must approve the request.
