In order to trigger the full authorization check incuding InfoArea check the authorization profile containing the authorization object S_RS_COMP should not contain the mask '*' for the fields RSINFOCUBE and RSCOMPID.

Note "2690193 - Open Dialogs display non-authorized InfoAreas" gives detailed correct authorization setting example.

Using the range '0*-9*, A*-Z*' instead of mask '*' for the technical names of the queries (RSCOMPID) and technical name of the InfoProvider (RSINFOCUBE) triggers the full authorization check also including the technical name of the corresponding InfoArea (RSINFOAREA). Semantically the range of the authorized queries is exactly the same as in case of using the mask '*'.
