● Activity
● Validity
● Attribute
The following operators can be used to define value filters in the restrictions.
Note: The activity and validity restrictions support only a subset of these operators.
● IN
● CP
● EQ (=), LE (=)
● BT
● IS_NULL
● NOT_NULL
All of the above operators, except IS_NULL and NOT_NULL, accept empty strings (“”) as filter operands.
The following are examples of how empty strings can be used with the filter operators:
● For the IN operator: IN (“”, “A”, “B”) to filter on these exact values
● As a lower limit in comparison operators, such as:
○ BT (“”, “XYZ”), which is equivalent to NOT_NULL AND LE “XYZ”
○ GT “”, which is equivalent to NOT_NULL
○ LE “”, which is equivalent to EQ “”
○ LT “”, which will always return false
○ CP “”, which is equivalent to EQ “”
The filter conditions CP “*” will also return rows with empty-string as values in the corresponding attribute.
View Restriction
This restriction specifies to which column view(s) the analytic privilege applies. It can be a single view, a list of
views, or all views. An analytic privilege must have exactly one cube restriction.
Example: IN ("Cube1", "Cube2")
Note: When an analytic view is created in the SAP HANA modeler, automatically-generated views are
included automatically in the cube restriction.
Activity Restriction
This restriction specifies the activities that the user is allowed to perform on the restricted view(s), for example,
read data. An analytic privilege must have exactly one activity restriction.
Example: EQ "read", or EQ "edit"
Note: Currently, all analytic privileges created in the SAP HANA modeler are automatically configured to
restrict access to READ activity only. This corresponds to SQL SELECT queries. This is due to the fact that
the attribute, analytic, and calculation views are read-only views. This restriction is therefore not
configurable.
