Disabling "Default layout setting" in ALV grid display

Question

Hello,
   We have a requirement where we need to disable layout default settings in ALV grid display.
   Only certain users should be able to save the report layout as default.
   We would be creating an authorization group for this and then based on the Authority check we would need to enable or disable Default layout save option.
  I found that using I_SAVE in the FM "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY", we can either enable or disable layout save option.
  But our requirement is to disable Default layout save option based on the authority check.
  We will find this option next to User specific option when we save the report layout.
  Can anyone guide me on this?
  Thanks,
Regards,
Anid

Hi Anid,
First of all check if you can do this excluding the buttons from the ALV with the excluding tab. If not, here is the code for the ALV OO to exclude the buttons.
FORM F_DISPLAY_ALV.
* Layout
PERFORM f_layout.
* Exclude Buttons
DATA:  gt_excl           TYPE ttb_button
REFRESH gt_excl.
* Append those you want to exclude. These are some of them. Check Class in SE24 -> Atributes of class cl_gui_alv_grid.
APPEND: cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_loc_cut            TO gt_excl,
        cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_loc_undo           TO gt_excl,
        cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_loc_copy           TO gt_excl,
        cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_loc_paste          TO gt_excl,
        cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_loc_copy_row       TO gt_excl,
        cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_loc_move_row       TO gt_excl,
        cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_loc_delete_row     TO gt_excl,
        cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_loc_insert_row     TO gt_excl,
        cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_loc_append_row     TO gt_excl,
        cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_loc_paste_new_row  TO gt_excl,
        cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_to_office          TO gt_excl,
        cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_expcrdesig         TO gt_excl.
CALL METHOD gv_alv_grid->set_table_for_first_display
    EXPORTING
      it_toolbar_excluding       = gt_excl[]
      is_layout                     = wa_layout_main
      is_variant                    = wa_variant
      i_save                        = 'A'
    CHANGING
      it_outtab                     = gt_alv[]
      it_fieldcatalog               = gt_fieldcat[]
      it_sort                       = gt_sort[].
