SAP Analytics Cloud

Introduction

The Data Access Management (DAM) feature provides a structured, catalog-like view of roles, groups, users, and the permissions across SAP Analytics Cloud metadata objects, including stories, charts, pages, and folders. This allows administrators and source owners to maintain clear visibility and control over data access within SAP Analytics Cloud.

This section describes how Data Access Management works for SAP Analytics Cloud. It covers the process of syncing and viewing metadata, reviewing assigned permissions for users, roles, and groups, and capturing audit logs of all crawled entries.

For more details, refer to the Data Access Management - DDA.

DAM functionality may vary depending on the capabilities of the source system.
