Data Storage Security

Using the business intelligence platform with Analysis, data is stored on the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence / SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise server. Access to the Analysis workbooks and PowerPoint files is protected by the authorization concept of the corresponding folders on the business intelligence platform server. For more information on configuring the authorizations for these folders, see “Setting Rights” in the BusinessObjects Business Intelligence / BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide at http://help.sap.com.

If you use Analysis locally, users store the Analysis workbooks and PowerPoint files with the BW data on a file share or on the client PCs. You can protect the access to the data on the file share with authorizations. To ensure that the locally stored data cannot be viewed by non-authorized users, we advise against giving users administrator rights on the client PCs.
