[BW] Activating authorization objects and creating InfoProviders - 746811

Symptom

If an InfoProvider is recreated and then activated, all of the relevant reporting authorization objects are automatically activated for this InfoProvider.

Other terms

Authorization object, create, activate, InfoProviders, InfoCubes, RSSM RSSTOBJDIR

Reason and Prerequisites

This is due to strict security guidelines, which prohibit data from being displayed until it is explicitly permitted.

Solution

The security guidelines cannot be altered.

If you do not require an authorization check, you must once again deselect the reporting authorization objects that were made; make this deselection in transaction RSSM under "Check for InfoProviders" --> "Change".
