Unit Introduction
This unit introduces Data Access Control (DAC) and its crucial role in ensuring secure data access for users and teams within a model. You will learn to identify dimensions that require DAC and configure DAC for the Company Code dimension, defining read and write access for teams. You will learn how to apply DAC during or after model creation, and explains the difference between read and write access in planning scenarios. It also discusses DAC’s role in model-specific security and demonstrates how to define read/write access for a team.
Additionally, this unit will explain how to enable the Data Audit functionality and navigate the Data Change Log in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) Planning models. You will explore the benefits of Data Audit, including its potential use cases for managing changes, maintaining data accuracy, and tracking user actions. Lastly, this unit will delve into evaluating the metrics gathered from the Usage Tracking Package, and how they can be used to optimize user experience and improve the overall performance of SAC.
