3604863 - Extra teams are added when importing folder using Content Network in SAP Analytic Cloud (SAC).

Symptom

  • Folder access change when exporting/importing folder using Content Network in SAC.
  • Extra teams are added when importing folder in comparison to source tenant using Content Network.

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login to Source SAC.
  2. Export the folder along with the teams the folder is shared.
  3. Login to Target SAC.
  4. Import the package along with the team settings.

Notice: The folder is shared with the extra teams in target tenant.

Cause

This is a by design behavior of the product.

The workflow operates when importing a folder:

  1. Parent folder is imported first.
  2. Permissions to the Parent folder are assigned.
  3. Sub-folder is imported next.
  4. It inherits the Permissions from Parent by "default".
  5. Whatever additional permissions are there for sub-folder they are appended to the inherited permissions from parents.

Resolution

The Sub-folder inherits the Permissions from the Parent folder by default.

If you wish to exclude certain entities, you will need to manually remove the assigned teams for the Sub-folders.
