Write-back the predictive forecasts in planning models. Note This applies to the private version of the planning model only. You must have write access to the private version related to the planning model. You can always write to private versions you own, but you need to be granted write access for the versions you don't own (shared versions).	x	x

Note

To publish a private version of your planning model with Smart Predict forecasts, you need Maintain permissions at a global level, and at the level of the specific model. Maintain permissions aren't enabled by default on the Predictive Content Creator and Predictive Admin roles. Planning Professional Admin , Planning Professional Modeler , and Planning Standard Reporter are the roles in the application that include Maintain permissions.

Create a new data repository (in the Administration User Interface)*		x
Update an existing data repository (in the Administration User Interface)		x
Delete a data respository (in the Administration User Interface)		x

* This means the Predictive Content Creator can effectively view the existing data repositories when creating a live dataset but this does not mean the Predictive Content Creator can view the data repositories in the Administration User Interface.

** The Predictive Content Creator cannot access the Administration User Interface and therefore can't effectively see the data repositories.

For more information, see Adding and Configuring the Data Repository in SAP Analytics Cloud.
