Hi,
We have implemented BI 4.1 SP1 in our BOBJ servers and i am running into a strange issue which i hope any one can explain me.
I created a User id for one of the developers who is doing some training on Webi, and Explorer. Now i need to grant access to that user id for efashion universe for their training sessions (as of now we have no other universes wither UNV or UNX). I went into CMC and opened Universes and clicked on the eFashion folder and right click on eFashion universe and in User Security gave the user id "Full Control". Went to connections and gave access to eFashion connection "full Control" access. Applications -- Explorer and Webi "Full Control".
Logged into BI LaunchPad and opened the applications Web Intelligence was able to develop a webi report on top of eFashion universe. Launched Explorer form the applications and when i click on Manage Spaces i do not see any Universe in the left hand side.
When i grant the user with Admin access i can see the list of Universe in Explorer. But when i change it to Full Control i cannot see the list of Universe in Explorer.
This is only with Explorer and Webi works fine completely. As a last option i went to Universe top Folder in CMC and clicked on Manage and User Security and gave Full Control to the top Universe Folder, so by default i will have access to all the Universe beneath it. Now went into Explorer and to my surprise i can see all the Universe (Audit, eFashion, eFashion-Webi etc..).
I find this strange. Does Explorer application need a different kind of access when compared to Webi. If i do not give a user to Top Level Universe folder a user can access all the Universe when gave access from Webi but it not able to do in Explorer.
It is a limitation or is it a bug or it is the way it is. I did not open a ticket with SAP yet.
