Symptom
When users view a certain report, the access context in that report is Unrestricted. However, you have maintained restrictions on user level / business role level for all relevant work centers so you would expect the report to be restricted.
Environment
- SAP Business ByDesign
- SAP Cloud for Customer
Cause
There are 2 possible causes:
- The work center view that the report is assigned to has a conflict. You can check this as follows:
- Go to the work center Business Analytics and the view Design Reports.
- Search for your report.
- Click Assign.
- Show all assigned work center views.
- It is assigned to views with a conflict - see the "Conflict" column.
- The report itself does not have an access context. This means that it's always unrestricted. You can check this as follows
- Go to the work center Business Analytics and the view Design Reports.
- Search for your report.
- Mark the report and in the table underneath the report list, check the "Access Context" entry. If it is empty, the report is not restricted.
Resolution
Depending on the cause:
- When assigned to a conflicting work center view, the report is always unrestricted. Please change the assignment to another view without conflict.
- Such reports cannot be restricted by user access rights. You could consider creating a copy of the report. In step 4, you can maintain fixed value selections. Here, you could set a relative restriction such as "My User Name", depending on how you would like the report to be restricted.
