Access and Privacy

Auditing within SAP Analytics Cloud is available at either of two levels: high-level auditing or transactional-level Data Changes auditing. If Data Audit is switched on, all changes for this model will be logged.

The audit logs are available from the Users menu (Users  Data Changes).

For planning models, validation rules let you define the allowed member combinations across multiple dimensions to prevent improper data entry and planning operations in stories and analytic applications. Turn this switch on to validate the data in the model according to the validation rules you define for this model. Planners are only allowed to enter data or use planning functions for the specified member combinations. For more information, see Define Valid Member Combinations for Planning Using Validation Rules.

For planning models, data locking lets you set up locks on the model data, which prevent the locked values from being changed by data entry and other planning operations in stories.

Turn this switch on to enable data locking, and set the Default Lock State for the model. This state will apply to all data in the model's public versions, unless otherwise specified in the Data Locking page:

• Open: Data entry is enabled for all members by default.
• Locked: Data entry is disabled by default.

For more information, see Configuring Data Locking.

This setting lets you disable the export of model data to a CSV file. For details, see Export Models and Data.

This setting determines whether the model is visible to users other than the owner. Note that this setting can also be changed later after the model has been saved.

If you switch on Model Data Privacy, only the owner of the model and user roles that have specifically been granted access can see the data. Disable this switch if you want the model and data to be public.

For more information, check out this video to see how to set up model privacy.

This setting lets you specify in the dimension settings which users will have access to each member in the dimension.
