While restricting users to the data of a certain InfoProvider can be an easy way to set up and maintain analysis authorizations, this severely restricts access. This action means that users can access either all the data in an InfoProvider or none of the data in the InfoProvider. When securing reporting users, it is recommended that you define authorizations at a lower level than the InfoProvider.
Within the Technical Business Content, SAP provides so called special characteristics to enable implementation of analysis authorization concepts described earlier.
The customer must first activate聽 Special Characteristics from Technical Business Content and then flag them as Authorization-Relevant in the InfoObject maintenance.
For more information, refer to:
Limiting users to data from a specific InfoProvider simplifies analysis authorization setup but restricts them to full or no data access within the InfoProvider.
To secure reporting users, you want to define authorizations on a lower level than InfoProvider. Suppose you wish two users to perform the same query but receive different results based on their responsibilities, secure analysis authorization down to the Characteristic InfoObject level. This option is the closest parallel to the field-level security in traditional SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA.
Remember the prerequisite for securing data access on Characteristic InfoObject level is to flag them as Authorization-Relevant .
As shown in the preceding figure, Controller A and Controller B have nearly identical analysis authorizations. The only difference concerns the authorization-relevant characteristic 0CO_AREA (Controlling Area).
The users will only see data if the query selection meets their analysis authorizations.
They won't see data if the query selection meets their analysis authorizations only partially.
A query always selects data from the InfoProvider. For the authorization-relevant characteristics, you have to ensure that the user performing the query has sufficient authorization for the complete selection of the query. Selection means the query's filter situation. Otherwise, no query result is displayed, but an error message indicates that the user doesn't have the required authorization.
Authorization Check OK: When the query selection is a proper subset of the authorization, query results are displayed.
Authorization Check Not OK: When the query selection is not a subset of the authorization, query results are not displayed, even if part of the selection is a subset of the authorization.
In general, the authorizations don't work as filters. Nevertheless, in the following instances when the user has partial analysis authorization only, the system still displays data.
These three aspects are explained in the lessons Creating Analysis Authorizations for Key Figures, Creating Hierarchy Authorizations, and Using Variables in Authorizations.

An authorization object or proposed field values are present in the Authorization tab of a role and there is a need to identify where this object or proposal comes from.
Ex.: Despite not having ME57 in the Menu of role, under Authorization tab Authorization object S_TCODE with field TCD can be found for the value ME57.

The authorizations required for a particular application are provided via the OData service of the application. This includes the start authorizations for the service in the back-end system and the business authorizations for accessing business data displayed in the app. By adding the OData service to the menu of back-end PFCG roles, you add the start authorization and the authorization proposals for the business authorizations. You can adjust these according to your needs.
We recommend adding all services required by the apps in a certain catalog to the same role. This role can be either an existing role that fits to the scope of the catalog or a new role. If you add the services to an existing role, the authorization proposals have to be merged with the authorization values already defined in the role. You can consider using existing roles if the following applies:
The same users assigned to the role shall get access to the respective SAP Fiori apps.
The business authorizations already defined in the role and those that you define for the SAP Fiori apps do not contradict.
Run transaction Role Maintenance ( PFCG ) and create a new PFCG role or edit an existing role.
On the Menu tab, open the menu of the pushbutton for adding objects (+ pushbutton) and choose the object type Authorization Default .
From the Authorization Default menu, choose TADIR Service and enter the following data:
Program ID : R3TR
Object Type : IWSV
In the table, enter the name of the OData service.
For more information about the OData service for your app, see the app-specific documentation in the section SAP Fiori Apps .
Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all services of the catalogs that you want to authorize with the role.
On the Authorization tab, choose the pushbutton next to Profile Name to generate the authorization profile for the role.
Choose Change Authorization Data .
Choose Save and then Generate .
Run transaction User Maintenance ( SU01 ) and assign the role to the user.
If the user does not yet have the business authorizations required to use the app, perform the following steps:
Open transaction User Maintenance ( SU01 ).
On the Authorization tab, choose Generate Profile next to the profile name.
Choose Maintain Authorization Data .
On the Authorization Details screen, choose the Generate symbol.
Additional Steps for Fact Sheets
In addition to the OData service authorizations, the delivered back-end roles for fact sheets contain authorizations for the underlying search models. You can find the search model entries in transaction Role Maintenance ( PFCG ) under the Authorizations tab.
You must add entries to the authorization object S_ESH_CONN in the subtree Basis: Administration . Fill the following fields:
Request of Search Connector
Search Connector ID
You can enter a wildcard (*) in all four fields. Reason: The SAP-delivered authorization restrictions on search model level (field Template_Name ) are sufficient for search requests running in only one system and one client, as currently supported by SAP Fiori search.

In SAP BW/4HANA, these authorizations are called Standard Authorizations to distinguish them from Analysis Authorizations. Users need standard authorizations to perform tasks such as: Model data by creating, changing, or delete metadata objects, such as InfoObjects, InfoProviders, and data flow elements. Load and administer data.
With the transaction RSECADMIN, you create Analysis Authorizations consisting of a group of authorization-relevant characteristics and navigation attributes and assign the authorized values. Analysis Authorizations can be assigned to the users: Directly with the user assignment in transaction RSECADMIN.
