Symptom
Owner of the roles (role created with read permission only) when assigned to it, can still make changes on it.
Other user assigned to the role cannot override the permission.
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud version 2.0
Reproducing the Issue
- Log in to SAC.
- Go to Security -> Roles.
- Create a role with only Read permission on all object type. Save it.
- Assign the role owner this created role.
Notice that the other user assigned with the custom role cannot edit the role, also cannot make any changes on granted permission, But the owner of the role even assigned to same role can make changes to the role.
Cause
This behavior is by design.
Resolution
Role owner (user that created the role) is always supposed to be able to make changes to the role that they created, even if later they are assigned with viewer role only (read-only permissions). This means that role owner always has full access to the role that they created. This applies to other object types such as team also.
