• Key Concepts: 
  Asset hierarchy is a feature of SAP xIEP that allows users to organize their assets into a hierarchical structure. This structure can be used to group assets into categories, such as production sites, wells, and pipelines. It also allows users to assign different levels of access to different assets, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the asset hierarchy feature in SAP xIEP, users must first create a hierarchy structure. This can be done by creating parent and child nodes for each asset type. Once the structure is created, users can assign different levels of access to each asset type. For example, they can assign read-only access to production sites and full access to wells and pipelines. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an asset hierarchy in SAP xIEP, it is important to consider the security implications of each level of access. For example, if a user has full access to a well or pipeline, they should also have read-only access to the production site associated with it. This will ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information.
