3100079 - Does the model data privacy work for private versions in SAP Analytics Cloud for Planning (SAC)

Symptom

You want to know whether the role-based data access control applies to the private version or not.

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud (Enterprise)

Resolution

On private versions, no read data security is being applied that affects both dimension-based and role-based DAC. That is also true for shared private versions.
It means even if you only have the read access to member A of a dimension, you can still see all the members of this dimension and their data in the private version. You can also write data to any member in the private version.

Caveat: The only exception is if you turn on the 'Hide Parents' feature of a dimension. Then you can only see the members that are allowed to read. This also affects (shared) private versions in the sense that some members aren't listed in a query result if you have no read access on the member. However, if you remove the dimension with 'Hide Parents' from the axis, you will see the sum/aggregate of all rows in a private version without DAC applied.

For example, dimension D is enabled with the data access control and the 'Hide Parents' option is turned on.
User A has read access to all members of dimension D. User B has read access to only member M of dimension D.
User A shares a private version with user B.
- If dimension D is added to the axis of the table, user B can only see the values/sum/aggregation of member M of dimension D.
- If dimension D is removed from the axis of the table, user B can see the sum/aggregation of all members of dimension D.
