SAP Business Intelligence Platform Security Best Practices: Access Rights and Custom Access Levels 


The SAP BI Platform accompanies a lot of five default access levels: 

View 
Timetable 
View on Demand 
Full Control (proprietor) 
Full Control 

Be that as it may, there are numerous circumstances where these either give an excessive amount of access or insufficient for a given circumstance. While it is conceivable to utilize an entrance level to allot security and after that to include "propelled rights" over it, best practice is to make custom access levels to utilize when doling out security. 

When planning custom access levels, it's essential to understand the various kinds of access rights that are accessible and how individual rights work. 

Kinds of Access Rights
There are four kinds of access rights: 

  • General rights apply to most of the majority of the articles in the Business Intelligence Platform, in spite of the fact that there are a couple, similar to "Change Preferences" or "Change client secret phrase" that are genuinely constrained in their degree. Presumably, the most utilized right in the General rights is "View object," since it applies to each item in the framework. 
  • Substance rights apply to envelopes and different sorts of reports and different archives. A large number of these rights are equivalent to the General rights, yet they apply just to one sort of item and can abrogate General rights.
  • Application rights apply to the different applications inside the BI Platform. These incorporate things like Web Intelligence, BI Launchpad, the IDT, and so on. 
  • System rights come in two general sorts:
    1. Information Access rights apply to different sorts of information associations and the capacity to utilize.
    2. All other framework rights apply to different framework level articles like access levels, servers, profiles, and so forth. 
Each entrance right may have two renditions – a "full" form that applies the privilege for each item to which it is connected and a "that the client possesses" or "proprietor" form that applies the privilege just to objects which the client claims. On the off chance that both the full form and the client claims/proprietor variant are allowed inside a solitary access level, the client possesses/proprietor adaptation is excess and doesn't do anything in light of the fact that the full form of the correct as of now incorporates access to the items the client possesses. 

Best Practices 

There are a few best practices around the configuration and utilization of access rights and Custom Access Levels. 
  1. Stay away from denying an entrance right since it can have unintended outcomes. Rather, use "Not Assigned" to adequately deny get to.
  2. Make access levels that contain just one sort of rights in addition to pertinent General rights. This implies having separate access levels for Content, Application, and System rights.
  3. All-get to levels ought to have the General View Object right conceded in light of the fact that clients must have the option to see an article (association, the universe, application, and so on.) so as to have the option to utilize it.
  4. Make two "Information" get to levels. One that gives authorizations to different association types and universes so the client can see/invigorate reports and another that gives the extra rights to make inquiries so clients can make reports. These entrance levels will be utilized to dole out access to associations and universes as it were.
