3653980 - The user with the DAC access to one of the child members can enter data point comments to the parent member in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

The user with the access to one of the child members can enter data point comments to the parent member.

  • For instance, the dimension ENTITY is enabled with the data access control.
  • ENTITY member Asia is the parent member of ENTITY APJ and CN.
  • A user has the read access to APJ and no access to Asia.
  • This user is able to add data point comments to the data cell associated with Asia.

Environment

SAP Analytics Cloud

Cause

This works as designed.
If a user has access to the child, then this user has the access to the parent too and can add a data point comment.
