What is an authorization scope ?
| Excerpt |
|---|
The Authorization scope (technical name = C_AUTHMA) is a field that is used in BW to segregate authorization depending on the user profile. Until D1, all Solvay users have by default access to all company codes SOLVAY SOLVAY. From D1, ECO users will only have access to the data of the legal entities ECO, and SCO users to the legal entities SCO. Only users working for the TSA will have access to the data of the legal entities ECO and SCO. |
Overview of changes
- Before D1, all companies are assigned to the scope SOLVAY and all BW users in SOLVAY can access the data of a company in the scope SOLVAY,
- After D1, each company is assigned to the scope ECO or to the scope SCO,
- A user working for ECO can only access the data of the scope ECO and a user working for SCo SCO can only access the data of the scope SCO.
Illustration
Company 1, 2 & 4 are in the scope ECO after D1
Company 3 is in the scope SCO after D1
User E is working for a GBU ECO (ex: Soda Ash), after D1, he will only have access to the scope ECO. He can not see anymore the data of the company 3.
User S is working for a GBU SCO (ex: Novecare), after D1, he will only have access to the scope SCO. He can not see anymore the data of the company 1,2 & 4.
User G is working for the Global Business Services. As part of the TSA, he will have access to the scope ECO and SCO.
How to fill the prompt with the new scopes ?
When you open a BW report, you need to fill the prompt.
It is mandatory to enter a scope in the field "Auth Scope" otherwise you get the message "No applicable data found" when you run your report.
Normally the field is updated by default with your authorization profile.
Before D1
The authorization scope = SOLVAY for all users in Solvay
After D1
The authorization scope SOLVAY doesn't exist anymore and must be replaced by the new authorization scope ECO, SCO or ECO & SCO depending on the user.
What to do with the error message: "no data applicable found" ?
You run the report and you have the message "No applicable data found"
=> You probably run the report with an inconsistent perimeter
User E is working for a GBU ECO and enters SCO in the prompt
=> There will be an error message "No applicable data found"
=> He must replace the authorization scope SCO by ECO
User S is working for a GBU SCO and enters ECO in the prompt
=> There will be an error message "No applicable data found"
=> He must replace the authorization scope ECO by SCO
User G is working for the Global Business Services. He enters ECO SCO in the prompt + a GBU SCO company code ECO (ex: CS NovecareZFR3 Rhodia Operation)
=> Even if he has access to both scopes ECO and SCO, there will be an error message "No applicable data found"
=> He must replace the authorization scope ECO SCO by the scope of the GBU company code = SCOECO
How to access historical data ?
BW - Historical dataSome companies are splitted in 2, in order to separate businesses when they are related to 2 different scopes in a single company (carve out process)
Illustration : ZFR3 - Rhodia Operation
- Before D1, there are ECO & SCO businesses in the company Rhodia Operation (ex: Silica (ECO) & Novecare (SCO))
- On D1, SCO businesses are carved out in a new company 6422
The user E who is working for a GBU ECO will keep the access to Rhodia Operation including historical data.
The user S who is working for a GBU SCO will have access to the new company code 6422 & the historical data of Rhodia Operation for his GBU only.
The user G who is working for the Global Business Services will keep the access to all GBUs in Rhodia Operation and will have access to the new company 6422.
