Authority check POWL queries

Hi all,
is possible to hide some queries in POWL depending on the user's roles ?
For example; in tab SRM Administration I want that all users can use the queries; "Suppliers", "Bidders" and "Contact Persons" ... , but i want that only some users can use the queries; "Locations" and "Employees"...
is it possible?
thanks in advance.

Hi RM,
Yes it is possible....you can restrict the POWL query based on roles or users..
Please check the below mentioned SPRO Path
SAP Implementation Guide-->SAP Web Application Server-->Cross-Application Components-->General Application Functions--> Generic SAP Business Suite Functions-->Personal Object Worklist-->Define Query Visibility at Role Level----->Execute
or transaction POWL_QUERYR .
Here you can define the quesirs for roles.
Thanks,
Anubhav

Authority Check in Queries (SQ01 / SQ02)

Hi Friends.
When I run a query (sq01 / sq02) , E.G. that contain the table MARC, the user can select all the plants, but he only must have access to plant "1000". In their roles / profiles, the basis only set authorisation to plant "1000".
I can resctrict the selection via abab code in the RECORD PROCESSING step of the INFOSET, but I want to know if exist a standar way to restrict this kind of authorisations in queries.
pls, any help will be nice!
thanks!

Use the logical database as the data source for the query:
" < ... > you should always use logical databases as the data source within InfoSets that are used for query-based reporting. Using a logical database as your data source guarantees that the SAP solution is smart enough to know which areas of the data a user is allowed to see so that only the appropriate data will show in an SAP query report. Regardless of what type of security access the person who created the report has, the system is smart enough to display only the appropriate data for the user executing the report. (Note that this is the case only when logical databases are used as the data source if a SAP query is created using an InfoSet that is based on anything other than a logical database (for example, a table, a table join, a program). It is fair to say that no security whatsoever is in place when the query is run because all records within the tables are displayed in the report output.)"

Authority Check - Best Practice - Optimum Way

Hi Experts,
I want to use authority check in my reports. The requirement is to filter data on the selection screen and execute the query. Error messages are not to be thrown because, a user will find it difficult to enter all the document types/company codes/sales areas etc authorized and remove the ones not authorized from the range.
I am planning to create range tables and populate it with the authorized values and use it in the select queries.
I have two concerns:
1. I will have to build range tables based on the values authorized. This will take some time, keeping in mind that append is an expensive statement.
2. What if the range table becomes big enough to give me a dump in the select query in some scenario. (What if scenario? Its a rare possibility that some field like this also needs to be authorized)
What is the best practice or rule of the thumb that you have figured out.
Thanks,
Abdullah Ismail.

Are they asking you to check the authorisations for each of the following?
1. Sales Organization
2. Distribution Channel
3. Division
4. Sales Group
5. Sales Office
6. Sales Document Type
7. Sales Country
8. Material Group(Brands)
If so that is completely over engineered and good luck with that. Surely you only need to check at one level of the sales structure, the lowest level I would guess. Your auths team should be able to guide you here and I cannot imagine they would want that level of auths as it would be a nightmare for them to build it. I suppose you might want one on material group as well.
Therefore they auths team or functional consultants will need to tell you at what level you are checking for each report, there will only be a small number at each level, (think you will struggle to get near the 12,000 Rob points out would cause an issue with a range) of the sales structure so I would use a range, you wonu2019t have that many appends and it wonu2019t add much to the time of the report. While for all entries is great you can also use the range where the report may have already used for all entries on a select and better not to have to rebuild the whole report.
Also I would do the auths check first up and make the field mandatory if they really want it nice and tight so the user has to choose, you can use a PID to make it a bit more friendly.
If you know the setup is the same each time you could use a standard include and subroutine, or ABAP objects would probably be the best route with a set of standard methods to call.
Hope that helps,

Hi,
We are upgrading to SRM7.0. It is Classic scenario and confirmations are not done in SRM. In POWL , can we remove the queries for SRM POs and Confirmations? Users only want to see queries from category Shopping Cart. Can we delete the queries that are not required for all users.

RRMX Authority check

hi,
There are two SAP BW systems , one with component SAP_BW SAPKW70017 (say B1) , and other one with SAP_BW component SAPKW70103 ( say B2)
In B2 , When a user executes RRMX , it takes them to the Business explorer(excel sheet) , however it throws a message in the GUI that "No authorization to change role <role>
Message no. S#423"
This message is received as soon as you get the excel sheet opened .
When further looked into the situation , seems like in B2 , the follwing select statement is executed ,( as soon as u execute RRMX)for checking the change access for all the users "assigned roles" ( I wonder why all roles?) with the object S_USER_AGr and throws the message when there is no 02 activity for any of the roles present with the user .
SELECT agr_name FROM agr_users INTO l_agr_name WHERE uname = sy-uname.
    CALL FUNCTION 'PRGN_AUTH_ACTIVITY_GROUP' -
> "this further throws the message"
      EXPORTING
        activity_group = l_agr_name
        action_change = 'X'
      EXCEPTIONS
        not_authorized = 12
        OTHERS         = 13.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      e_s_system_info-can_change_pfcg_roles = rs_c_true.
Whereas in B1 (old release) no such message is thrown for the same user . seems there is no such change activity check in the begining?( not too sure) and only when the user clicks the Role option in Query dialog , S_USER_AGR is checked as per the ST01 trace.
Is this a bug in SAP_BW 701 release ? If so , do you the SAP notes for correcting the same ?please reply at the earliest .Thanks in advance

Some customers have S_USER_GRP actvt '02' in production environments for the RRMX "key" users who publish queries to be able to add them to the menu for the users. A change in authorization data might not be required, typically.
But this "change" authority gives more access than just the menu, and the user will need other authorizations for S_USER_TCD and VAL as well.
It has been replaced by the BEXWeb, which you should take a look into.
As SAP "owns" the authority-checks in their programs, they seemed to have felt it appropriate to add the same check to RRMX for "key" users.
> Is this a bug in SAP_BW 701 release ?
I don't think it is a bug in BW 7.01. Arguably they could have added it earlier.
There is an approach to control this via the sideinfo.dat file using the program ID of the query - but I guess few did that or even knew about it. It is not intuitive.

Julius

Authority check at field level in sales order

Dear all, our business requirement is the following:
only some users should be able to see the prices (including netwr, netpr,...) in the sales order depending on the authority check performed on the sales group field.
This means that for an order of sales group 'A':
a user of sales group 'A' can see the prices and change the order, a user of sales group 'B' cannnot see the prices but can change the order, a user of sales group 'C' can display the order but cannnot see the prices.
I ask you if such a scenario can be realized in SAP.
We currently run SAP ECC 5.0.
thx all !
bye Roberto

Hi agree with Jan and Auke,
To my knowledge it is object V_KONH_VKO which you are looking for. See the documentation in SU24 - SD class.
But whether or not that will influence the visibility / editability of the screen in VA02 etc when turned the check on in SU24, I am not sure.
If not, search the forum for topics relating to "transaction variants", "variant transactions" and "screen variants" to see whether those solutions will fulfill the requirement.
Cheers,

ALV GRID and AUTHORITY-CHECK

Hi all !!!
I'm using the ALV Grid control with checkboxes and I want to control if the actual user have the appropriate authorization to check/uncheck them.
In the AUTHORITY-CHECK call, I want to make the authorization test on the "DEPARTMENT" of the user (from Table USER_ADDR or SU01).
For example :
DEPARTMENT AA1 --> check/uncheck OK
DEPARTMENT AA2 --> check/uncheck NOT OK
DEPARTMENT AA3 --> check/uncheck OK
... etc.
How can I do ? Create an new authorization object/field ?
PS : it's the first time I'm using AUTHORITY-CHECK..

Much of the data in an R/3 system has to be protected so that unauthorized users cannot access it. Therefore the appropriate authorization is required before a user can carry out certain actions in the system. When you log on to the R/3 system, the system checks in the user master record to see which transactions you are authorized to use. An authorization check is implemented for every sensitive transaction.
If you wish to protect a transaction that you have programmed yourself, then you must implement an authorization check.
This means you have to allocate an authorization object in the definition of the transaction.
For example:
program an AUTHORITY-CHECK.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT <authorization object>
   ID <authority field 1> FIELD <field value 1>.
   ID <authority field 2> FIELD <field value 2>.
   ID <authority-field n> FIELD <field value n>.
The OBJECT parameter specifies the authorization object.
The ID parameter specifies an authorization field (in the authorization object).
The FIELD parameter specifies a value for the authorization field.
The authorization object and its fields have to be suitable for the transaction. In most cases you will be able to use the existing authorization objects to protect your data. But new developments may require that you define new authorization objects and fields.
Example ;
REPORT EXAMPLE MESSAGE-ID Z1.
TABLES: USR02.
PARAMETERS: LOCK AS CHECKBOX, LISTLOCK AS CHECKBOX.
DATA: UFLAGVAL TYPE I, LOCKSTRING(8) TYPE C.
---- Authorization check -
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'ZPROG_RUN' ID 'PROGRAM' FIELD SY-CPROG.

ENDIF.
IF LISTLOCK = 'X'.

Company code authority check

Hi
we have created ZTTL01 table maintenance view. Should not allow unauthorized company code to update/create or display.
I searched thru forums and collected below points. but could not test it successfully.
Authorization object (Z_XXX_BUK) was created.But <Permitted activities> Button is not available in display authorization object(SU21) to see what are the activities are permitted.
In su01 for my user no roles or profiles are defined.
To do
Trying to write below code in PBO and PAI flow logic of ZCHECK_BUK table for screen 01
PBO & PAI
*First statement
Module Authorictycheck.
module Authoritycheck
LOOP AT EXTRACT.
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'ZCHECK_BUK'
                        ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '01,02,03'
                        ID 'BUKRS' FIELD ZTTL01-BUKRS.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      MESSAGE e000(zrpt) WITH 'You do not have the authorization to'
    EXIT.                          'access Bukrs'extract-bukrs.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
endmodule
Can i use above code in PBO and PAI to check change of company code?
I am sharing role and profile created by other user, which allows only company code 'A10'.
How to test this now?
se11->Utilities->table contents create should not allow me to input A11 or other company codes? pls confirm.

Hi Suhas
Regarding 1) It works when i remove the FORM routine assinged for EVENTS.
Thanks for ur input.
Regarding 2)When the user displays record in SM30 for a table, he must not be able to see the company code AD01.
To achieve this can i use EVENT AA?
I create FORM routine <hide_cocode> in EVENT AA and store at include LZXXXXF01.
FORM ZHIDE_COCODE.
DATA: F_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX."Index to note the lines found"
LOOP AT TOTAL.
READ TABLE EXTRACT WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
F_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
ELSE.
CLEAR F_INDEX.
ENDIF. "(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
MODIFY TOTAL.
CHECK F_INDEX GT 0.
EXTRACT = TOTAL.
MODIFY EXTRACT INDEX F_INDEX.
*ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM.
I made break point at line LOOP at Total. and executed SM30 and clicked Display button.
Sorry Code stops here and table TOTAL has flat line structure of empty.Loop at total is skipping
what should be done now?
Regards
Chandra

Authority check in hr payroll infotype report

Hi all,
We have developed a report which gives infotypewise employee details.here we are checking authority for reading employee data.we are applying authority check at selection-screen and while reading the data from database tables.following is the sample code.
do .
if s_abkrs-high < s_abkrs-low.
    authority-check object 'P_PCR'
              id 'ABRKS' field s_abkrs-high
              id 'ACTVT' field '01'
              id 'ACTVT' field '02'.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      message id 'ZHR_ERRMSGS' type 'E' number '292' with s_abkrs-low.
    endif.
exit.
endif.
    authority-check object 'P_PCR'
              id 'ABRKS' field s_abkrs-low
              id 'ACTVT' field '01'
              id 'ACTVT' field '02'.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      message id 'ZHR_ERRMSGS' type 'E' number '292' with s_abkrs-low.
    endif.
s_abkrs-low = s_abkrs-low + 1.
enddo.
my senior says this code is right but it is not checking authority for all infotypes.can anyone suggest what changes are required in this code so that it will check authority for all infotypes.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Harshada

Hi ,
      A select-option will have a structure with four fields (sign , option , low , high) .
      So if you want to use your below code : you cannot check authority.
loop at s_abkrs.
authority-check object 'P_PCR'
id 'ABRKS' field s_abkrs <-- is an internal table
id 'ACTVT' field '01'
id 'ACTVT' field '02'.
if sy-subrc 0.
message id 'ZHR_ERRMSGS' type 'E' number '292' with s_abkrs-low.
endif.
endloop.
The other option is :
If your select option has values only in low ... then you can loop thru it ...
loop at s_abkrs.
authority-check object 'P_PCR'
id 'ABRKS' field s_abkrs-low
endloop.

Web Service Homepage: Authority check failed

The message server defined in the SAP-Logon is us4278.wdf.sap.corp
But the url of the web service starts with http://us4185:58500/wsnavigator/jsps/explorer.jsp?description=WebServiceZ_TEST_Q73_CONFIG_WS
But I think that's not the problem, is it? As I mentioned above the test page can be shown, but the after filling in the input parameters an pressing send, there appears the authorisation error.
For better illustration I made some screenshots for you:

3) http://wipux2.wifo.uni-mannheim.de/~wi01211/sonstiges/WS_HOMEPAGE_TEST_reqest_response.gif
What can be wrong, if the error "n0:FailedAuthentication" appears?

How to use the AUTHORITY-CHECK in ABAP

I am a security guy but am trying to understand how the AUTHORITY-CHECK works. I have read the help on it but it doesn't answer to my understanding. I want a check in a report so that no matter what the user selects the program goes out and checks the authorization in the users master record and only displays what he has access to. I am sure this is basic but I am not a programmer.
Thanks

Hi Greg,
Basically a AUTHORITY-CHECK is a programmatic way to check a auth object a user has. This is only as good as the person writing the code makes is.
Here is a basic example of how it could work. Lets say you have auth objects for users that limit them to see company code. User A can see cc 10, User B can see cc 20 and user C can see both.
In the code the programmer would have to first do the authcheck to see what CC the user has access to. Then they would have to limit his reporting based on the results of the authority check. So they might do it by saying SELECT * FROM XYZTAB WHERE COMPANY CODE = AUTHCC
This is what I think you are looking for. There are other ways to use the auth check. You can do a check and end the program with a message if they don't have authorization.
If you need more info, let me know

Authority check in for condition type

Hi
What do you mean by an authority check on condition type.. especially Pricing..
There are authority check that are embedded as Reqt and AltCTy in the IMG at the pricing procedure level for different condition type.
Could someone explain me what they are for..?
Thanks
Jac

Hi,
authority check is the std sap methodology of check the permitted authorisation values for every transaction and every user.
here in this example;authority object is used to maintain or change condition record for allowed condition types.
scenario eg;if we maintain create value for user mukund for pr00 condition type ,system allows me only for creating .if we maintain change value for user sherin for condition type,system allows to change the values.
net net i can create and u can change ,not visa-viz or any body else cannot do it.
hope this is clear.if it helps REWARD!!!!!!!

PNP authority check

Hi all,
I have a problem with authority check in a report.
I have to access to a field in an infotype and subtype.
I have all authorizations for this subtype and infotype.
I'm trying to retrieve this data from an employee, but this employee has informed another subtype in this infotype where I haven't permisions.
As in the source code there aren't access to this subtype where I haven't permisions, I found that the systems make it's authority check before the START-OF-SELECTION in class CL_HRPAD00AUTH_CHECK_STD, method IF_EX_HRPAD00AUTH_CHECK~CHECK_AUTHORIZATION.
The system takes the employee number, gets all its informed infotypes and subtypes and perform the authority check for my user, so I can't access to this employee information.
I think this authority check is made by the use of PNP logical database.
Is there any way to avoid this authority check?
Regards,
Angel Cepa

Hi Angel Cepa,
first of all: maybe you can use logical database PNPCE, because PNP is obsolet.
Anyway, please refer to the documentation of PNPCE (transaction SE36), that may solve your problem.
PNP/PNPCE knows two ways to check authority:
1. If no authorization exists for even one individual data record of one of the infotypes used, processing of the personnel numbers is terminated by default (switch "PNP_SW_SKIP_PERNR" = Y)
2. If you set this switch (at the INITIALIZATION or START-OF-SELECTION events) to N, no more personnel numbers (without authorization) are skipped. Only the data records for which no authorization exists are rejected (that is, not made available).
So, simply set the switch, mentioned above, to "N" and you will have access to this employee (except the infotype-records, you don't have authority for).
