2142327 - Authorization for SAP HANA Live for SAP PRA

Symptom
You are installing SAP HANA ANALYTICS FOR PRA 1.0 and are needing guidance on setting up authorizations specific to the PRA VDM Content


Other Terms
HANA Live PRA


Reason and Prerequisites
SAP HANA ANALYTICS FOR PRA 1.0 is installed and you are in the process of establishing authorizations for your business users


Solution
The user interfaces of SAP HANA Live for SAP Business Suite rely on the access control mechanisms of the underlying SAP HANA database. As a prerequisite, it is assumed that every business user (any user accessing SAP HANA Live content in the SAP HANA database) is created as a named SAP HANA database user. To control the business user’s access to SAP HANA Live application content and displayed data, the relevant authorization settings have to be configured within the SAP HANA database.
Authorization settings on the SAP HANA database are achieved through privileges.
Refer to the online reference material "SAP HANA Live for SAP Business Suite Administrator's Guide -> Security" for details on the general administration of security within HANA Live.
The PRA components of HANA Live follow the general characteristics and setup requirements defined in the above document.  It is worth noting however that not all PRA views have corresponding analytic privilege elements defined in the back-end system (IS-PRA), and therefore the SAP HANA Live Authorization Assistant cannot be used to generate analytic privileges for those views.  For example, there exists no applicable attribute level authorization object for well volume queries in IS-PRA in the ECC system, therefore there is nothing for the Authorization Assistant to use as a mapping basis.  As access to a query view requires an analytic privilege to be defined and assigned to a user, the administrator must take the manual steps necessary to define an appropriate analytic privilege for those views that cannot be otherwise generated by the SAP HANA Live Authorization Assistant.  These steps are performed as a standard SAP HANA security administrator task, and can be referenced in the SAP HANA Security Guide.
It is advisable for security administrators to review all generated privileges, and refine as necessary to accommodate the business requirements.  The privileges model available for SAP HANA Analytics is very flexible and allows for a more detailed authorization scheme to be created than may be possible in the back-end system.
