SAP HANA Live Browser Configuration

Assign roles

In the SAP HANA studio, navigate to the Security folder, search for a user and assign the developer or business role.

• Technical name of developer role: sap.hba.explorer.roles::Developer
• Technical name of business user role: sap.hba.explorer.roles::Business

I have given access to DB SYSTEM user and tried and it worked for me.

Access the SAP HANA Live Browser

The user with the developer role can access the application using the following URL:

http://<WebServerHost>:80<SAPHANAinstance>/sap/hba/explorer/index.html (with Shell)

The user with the business role can access the application using the URLs:

• http://<WebServerHost>:80<SAPHANAinstance>/sap/hba/explorer/index.html(with Shell)
• http://<WebServerHost>:80<SAPHANAinstance>/sap/hba/explorer/buser.html(without Shell)
