• Key Concepts: 
  Data security profiles are used in SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool (IDT) to control user access to data. They are used to define which users can access which data, and what type of access they have. Data security profiles are created in the IDT and then applied to the universe. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Data security profiles are created in the IDT by selecting the “Data Security” tab. From there, you can create a new profile and assign users or groups of users to it. You can also specify what type of access each user or group has, such as read-only or full access. Once the profile is created, it can be applied to the universe by selecting the “Security” tab and then selecting the profile from the drop-down menu. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a data security profile, it is important to consider who needs access to the data and what type of access they need. It is also important to remember that data security profiles can be applied at both the universe level and the object level, so you should consider which level is most appropriate for your needs.
