PO2 - BW - Authorization scope
Definition
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
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 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 A 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 B 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 C is working for the Global Business Services. As part of the TSA, he will have access to the scope ECO and SCO
BW - 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.
BW - No data applicable
You run the report and you have the message "No applicable data found"
=> You probably run the report with an inconsistent perimeter
User A 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 B 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 C is working for the Global Business Services. He enters ECO in the prompt + a GBU SCO (ex: CS Novecare)
=> 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 by the scope of the GBU = SCO
