Procedure documentationAssigning Roles for Accessing SAP HANA Data Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

For analytical apps, data is retrieved from the SAP HANA database through SAP HANA Extended Application Services (SAP HANA XS). SAP HANA XS provides the data by using OData services that require authorizations, which are defined in SAP HANA as privileges.

The defined privileges in SAP HANA are grouped together in roles and these roles are assigned to SAP HANA database users. The roles and users required in SAP HANA are in addition to the PFCG roles and ABAP users required in the front-end server.

For each app, SAP delivers a role that includes all app-specific privileges.

Prerequisites

  • You have created the required SAP HANA database users.
