Documentation on Crystal-specific authorizations

Does anyone have any additional documentation on how best to configure the various authorizations that are required for using Crystal Reports in an SAP environment. I have found the documentation/directions in the Install and Config guide to be vague and not helpful in trying to understand which authorizations are absolutely necessary for various functions.
For instance, is the "Crystal Consumer" or viewer role necessary for someone who is only going to view scheduled instances and not view reports on demand? What specific authorization is needed to allow for on-demand viewing? Any help or tips on how to configure authorizations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Mike,
The Install and Admin guide for the Integration for SAP solutions has a section describing what authorizations are required for different connectivity tasks.
However in the case where the user is viewing an instance, no authorizations are required because this is a report with saved data thus no connection to the database is required.
In case you are thinking of the publications, I will elaborate further on how this feature works. When a publication is created for multiple users, the database is hit once per added user to retrieve the record set of that user based on his/her authorizations. Once this is completed, a report instance is created for each one of these users which only that user has access to. We describe this type of publication as multipass bursting where data is requested from the database per recipient.
thanks
Mike

Issue with context specific authorization object P_ORGINCON.

Hello Experts,
The context specific authorization object doesn't evaluate the
structural profile it is assigned to when more than one structural
authorization is assigned to a user.
Please read the below scenario for issue description as follows:
User ZHR_ACT13 is assigned two roles namely ZHR_HRD and ZHR_DEPT_HEAD.
He is the manager for employee ID 167 and is not the manager of employee ID 17.
Role ZHR_HRD has no read/write authorization for Infotype 6. ZHR_HRD is also assigned to structural authorization ALL which is meant for viewing all the objects with no restriction of any relationship.
Role ZHR_DEPT_HEAD has read authorization for infotypes 6 for only the subordinates i.e. the structural authorization ZDEPT_HEAD of viewing only the subordinates data is assigned to this role. Also this structural authorization ZDEPT_HEAD is assigned to infotype 6 using
authorization object P_ORGINCON.
But now the manager ZHR_ACT13 is able to read infotype 6 data for employee ID 17 who is not his subordinate even though only structural authorization ZDEPT_HEAD is assigned to infotype 6 using P_ORGINCON. We
expect that user ZHR_ACT13 must be able to read infotype 6 data only for employee ID 167 and not for employee ID 17.
Please kindly help resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Roshan.

This has been resolved.

Project Specific Authorization

Hi Everyone,
My requirement is to implement Project specific Authorization means I want to restrict users to access other projects running in the same plant..Suppose there are four projects A, B, C and D..now there will be four project managers and four teams as well. Now our Client wants that the member of one project could not access the things of other projects...now SAP has given standards only for transaction authorization one can be restricted to access a particular transac but how to restricts at project level.....suppose project manager of project A having a access of CJ2B now he can open any of the project so we need to configure the users in such a way that he can only able to open his project..the moment he tries to open some other project to which he not assigned the system should give him error message like " you are not authorized to access this project."
hope I am able to clarify the requirement please give your feedback and solution for this...
thanks in advance

same as Restrict project's access on PS
cheers

Querying roles containing specific Authorization Object

Hello!
We're using BI7 with new considerations about security. I want to get all roles that contains a specific Authorization Object, I've tried using TX SUIM, but had no success.
Is there any report, transaction or something else where to find this info?
I hope you can help!
Regards!
Bernardo

Bernardo,
If "new security model authorization objects" means analysis authorizations (SAP's official naming for objects mantained by RSECAUTH), those used in roles can be retrieved again using tcode SE16: just query AGR_1251 but this time providing S_RS_AUTH for field OBJECT. The result set shows roles that contain analysis authorizations. If you want only the roles which have specífic analysis authorization, just provide its name for field LOW. Be sure to fill in this field with all capital letters.
On the other hand table RSECVAL keeps the values defined for analysis authorizations.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Fernando

Error for customer specific Authorization check (User Exit)

Dear Experts,
I am facing a problem in PM.
I have created a maintenace plan for calibration via t code IP42 and mentioned the order type PM05. Scheduling is done for the order. I got the order number.
I have released the order and got the inspection lot number.
While entering the results recording through t code QE17, the reluts are out of the specified range, i have given the valuation Rejected, immediately system is giving an error message as below:
"Error for customer specific Authorization check (User Exit)"
Though there is no user exit activated in the system, this message is coming and not allowing the result recoring for rejection.
If I'm entering the result recording within the specified range, then valuation is Accepted and its allowing to save.
I have checked the following user exits:
QQMA0002: QM: Authorization Check for Entry into Notif. Transaction
QQMA0026: PM/SM: Auth. check when accessing notification transaction.
The above 2 User Exits are not active.
I have also checked a note 429066. But it says incase of any dump for that user exit only its applicable and more over the current version of the system is ECC 6.0 packae 15, where as that note is applicable upto 4.6C.
Please some one help me on this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Praveen.

Dear Pete,
I have cheked with my technical team, There is no hotpacks updated recently. This is the implementaion project I'm in, so performing the cycle for the first time.
Any how I got it solved, in T code QE17, after entering the Inspection lot in next screen goto menu path Settings - User settings - Defects recording mention the reprt type and tick on Reprt type Changable.
At the time of result recording if the valuation is Rejected then it ask for defects recording close that window if not rwequired then save, the error message no longer apperaing now.

Praveen

The scope of the customer-specific authorization object

Dears,
Could someone please feedback about the scope of the customer-specific authorization object; e.g. if we are to create a customer-specific authorization object to replace authorization object P_ORGIN in the HR module, to be able to add an extra authorization field to the newly created authorization object, the scope of the newly create authorization object (which will have a new validation code generated by report RPUACG00) will be the whole ERP system ?
The worry is caused by the fact that P_ORGIN is already used in several authorization roles granted to users in the different ERP modules (i.e. FI, SD, MM, CS), so the replacement would affect these modules.
Thanks.
Reda

Hello Reddy,
We are about to implement the HCM module (We are now in the testing
phase), on the same client as that of our SAP ERP implementation.
We need to authorize on the personnel number grouped by 'Payroll Area'
in transactions PA30, PA40
In authorization object P_ORGIN, the field VDSK1 is already used to
authorize on an attribute : cost center (organizational key) for each
organizational unit, so we can't configure it to authorize on other
fields from info type 0001 (e.g. Payroll Area).
We need to continue using the conventional / general authorization and
not the structural authorization, to stay in compliance with our
authorization schema already implemented in our FI, MM, SD & CS modules.
( Also, as per thread : Steps for creating structural authorization profile using trans. OOSP
the structural authorization cannot be used to authorize on Payroll Area.)
We need to go through the HR module implementation without any changes
in the ABAP code.
So, the last way out is the custom-specific authorization object, and as I mentioned before, the authorization object P_ORGIN was already used in other ERP modules; e.g. FI, MM, SD & CS,
( Note : I haven't started yet implementing this solution.)
Thanks.

Track-specific Authorization

Hi,
I set up Track-Specific Authorization in NetWeaver 7.0.
UME user "test_a" has NWDI.Administrator role, and the CMS Track Authority of user "test_a" is set as =>
====================================
Track A => select all Authorities
Track B => select only "Display" Authorities
====================================
I turn on Track Authority State without error.
When I practice the scenario that login as user "test_a", then modify Track B by adding runtime system.
User "test_a" is able to add runtime system on Track B.
The expected resuld should be "test_a" can not modify (ex. add runtime system) on track B.
Please Help.

HI Chen,
test_a has a NWDI.Administrator role assigned to it.
so test_a can do anything.
track authertices are set for the users. whom you just assigned
NWDI.Developer or other roles other than NWDI.Administrator

Deleting document specific authorization (ACL in EasyDMS)

Hi,
Is there a way to delete document specific authorization assigned using the Authorization tab in EasyDMS? The requirement is to have authorizations based on roles and auth objects (defined in PFCG) to take effect.
Thanks,
Lashan

Hi Lashan,
some time ago our developement created the following report for deleting ACL entries of a document info record. Maybe this can be useful for you too. Below you find the report coding:
*& Report Z_ACL_DLETE_FOR_DIS
REPORT Z_ACL_DLETE_FOR_DIS.
TABLES: draw.
DATA: lt_draw   TYPE draw OCCURS 0 with header line.
WRITE:/1 'LIST OF DIRs WITH ACLs DELETED' COLOR COL_HEADING INTENSIFIED ON,
      /2 '          DIR KEY                   ' COLOR COL_HEADING.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK dms_block10 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_dokar FOR draw-dokar MEMORY ID cv2,
                s_doknr FOR draw-doknr,

                s_dokvr FOR draw-dokvr.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK dms_block10.
SELECT * FROM draw INTO TABLE lt_draw

          doknr IN s_doknr AND
          doktl IN s_doktl AND
          dokvr IN s_dokvr.
LOOP AT lt_draw.
Delete from DMS_GUID where dokar = lt_draw-dokar and doknr = lt_draw-doknr
and doktl = lt_draw-doktl and dokvr = lt_draw-dokvr.
if sy-subrc = 0.
write:/ lt_draw-doknr,lt_draw-dokar ,lt_draw-dokvr, lt_draw-doktl.

Work Center specific Authorization

Hi all,
My specific requirement is we have 7 various plants and each plant having 2 work centers and planner groups like one is for Elect and other is Mech. Now my client wants that particular plant only have the authorization for its particular work center and planner group.
Means if plant 1 having work center Elect1 and mech1, this plant is not authorize to make notification or order of plant2 work centers say Elect2 and Mech2. Is it possible? What am I suppose to do for that?
Thanks,
Anish

Hi Anish,
Nothing is required to be done by Functional Consultant. You just need to contact your basis team.
You have to provide him role/profile for which you want to change authorization for auth object C_AFVG_APL.
This auth object will have fields as below
1) Plant
2) Work center
3) Action
The following values are used for the actions:
01: Create
02: Change
03: Display
41: Assign PS texts
42: Allocate materials
43: Assign PRTs
44: Assign activity elements
You need to tell him for your role/profile - which plant, which work center and which action should be allowed.
So accordingly user will have only those limited authorization.

Documentation of Crystal Report Template

We're using several developed Crystal Report (V11) RPT files. Is there a way to document the contents of what is contained in each RPT (Sections, Variables used, SQL used, etc)?

You can export the report to create a Report Definition.
Click on the export button and scroll down to Report Definition, you may have to install this export option if it doesn't exist.
The definition is export to a text file. It will show a lot of info but it will not show information that is stored in conditional formatting formulas.
