Recently, I did a webinar on Standard Reporting Authorizations within SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI. See the webinar presentation here: SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI Authorizations for Reporting. There has been lots of discussions about analysis authorizations because it is new, but I don't want people to forget about their reporting authorizations. In this webinar I discuss how to authorize what reports people can see.
What is covered?
We cover an overview with the types of objects we're authorizing (queries, workbooks, web templates, formatted reports, etc...). Also discussed is a delta of authorization objects between BW 3.x and SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI. After that, there is a discussion of different implementation scenarios with a specific focus on TCO (total cost of ownership). Then I talk about some personal lessons learned.
