10.9    Summary

Most organizations will need to secure access to the data hosted in their SAP HANA systems. When this need arises, analytic privileges offer multiple solutions to manage access. Analytic privileges govern access to data made available through SAP HANA’s information views. Going forward, SQL-based analytic privileges will replace the legacy XML-based analytic privileges. SQL-based analytic privileges offer the ability to implement complex filter logic using subquery statements or complex filter condition statements. Like all privileges, SQL-based analytic privileges must be granted to a grantee before they go into effect. Ideally, you’ll assign analytic privileges to repository-based roles and then grant repository roles to users.
