SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) Security | SAP Security Expert

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is a powerful cloud analytics platform that enables business intelligence, enterprise planning, and predictive analytics on sensitive corporate data. Securing SAC requires a robust, granular governance framework that controls user provisioning, folder-level object permissions, and data-level access. Security managers must configure Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML 2.0 Identity Providers (like SAP IAS, Azure AD, or Okta) and define secure Teams and Roles within the tenant. Crucially, SAC security must align with backend data sources (such as SAP HANA, BW, or S/4HANA) using secure connection configurations (Direct Live Data or Import Data) with row-level data security mappings.
