Analysis for Office - Security

[Former Member]

Hello,

Our Basis team has deployed 'Analysis for Office' in our BO 4.1 system.

However, I am unable to see this Application in CMC in teh List of all Applications..

I need to configure Secuity for thsi Applciation. How do we do that if the applicaiton is not in CMC?

Thanks.

Most of the authorization work is done back in BW

could you please check the administrator guide for Analysis Office located at help.sap.com?

Hello tammy,

I did check the Admin Guide for Analysis Office: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/AMS13/en/13_aaoffice_admin_en.pdf

From what I understand:

- Analysis for Office software needs to be installed on the individual PC of the users who want to use it.

- This will enable an option on the MS Excel/MS Word/etc. called Advanced Analysis

- The user can directly connect to the BW system. The data available to the user depends on the Authorization that the user has in BW system.

- There is no additional Security needed for "Analysis Office" itself.

Please correct me if I have missed anything.
