Environment

SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office

Cause

This is not a bug in the tool, but a limitation in the communication/data access layer used by AO. The APIs do not support the creation and change of the folders.

Resolution

It is necessary to create/change the roles directly in the BW platform (e.g. via PFCG tcode).
