Authorization Query

[Former Member]

Hello, I have created a dashboard in Dashboard design but using old BW connection. I gave my user a link after executing it on my side. When she tried to click on the link, it gave an error message saying "User XXXX is not authorized to execute Dashboard XXXX". Do you know what type of authorization is required?

Thanks.

Hi

You need some pre-requisite authorizations to access SAP BW  data.

To run the BO reports against SAP BW system, end uses required below minimal set of authorizations in the SAP BW system.

Please find the below link for more info.

Hi

Hope you are accessing the dashboard using SAP authentication mode, check whether her id has the rights or not.

See, i did not create any BICS connection. I am doing it the old fashioned way like we used to do in XCELSIUS 2008. Would i still have to create this person in BOBJ server?

Thanks.

Open dashboard, click on connections (Manage Connections) at the top, then bring queries from BW and create dashboard.

Are you using "SAP BW Netweaver Connection" ?
