Authorization checking in BAPI

Hi,
I put in authorization checking for the 'Material group 1' field of a SD document. With this, only authorized users are allowed to change this field while other users without the authorization will not be allowed to change it. When i tested the authorization in VA02, it works fine. I was able to change it as i has been assigned with the required role/profile. On ther other hand, the other user without the role/profile was not able to change the field using VA02. I did another test using a Z program that calls 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE'. The Z program will change the 'Material group 1' field using 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE'. My initial thought was me with the required role/profile when running the Z program, will be able to change the field while the other user without the required role/profile will not be able to change it when running the Z program. However, the result shows that both users (with/without the role/profile) was also able to change the field using the Z program. Is there anyway to control the BAPI so that it works the same as in VA02? Thanks much for your advice.

In your coding change
IF sy-tcode = 'VA02'.
to
IF T180-TRTYP = 'V'.
Then your coding will also work with BAPI. Try putting a break point before the If clause and execute the BAPI, you can see it yourself.
SAP will set T180-TRTYP = 'H' for create, = 'V' for change and = 'A' for display.
T180-TRTYP is a SAP recommended field to be used in user exits to know if the document is being created, changed or displayed
If sy-tcode = 'VA02' will not work with BAPI as you are actually not executing transaction VA02.
Also just disabling screen fields for input will not have affect on the BAPI call.
You would need to ensure it through separate coding

Find authorization check in BAPI implemented in a program

Dear ,
How can we find the authoruty check in a program in which a BAPI is used.If we search authority check in program click search button and find authority then only the authorization check implemented in program except BAPI is shown not in BAPI.
Kindly send me solution ASAP.

Hi Yatendra,
                  May be this code works out for you .It is just a dummy code.Try using Authority Check.Hope your query resolves soon.
authority check
PERFORM <AUTHORITY CHECK> USING <TABLE>.
IF NO_AUTHORITY NE SPACE.
   PERFORM BAPIRETURN TABLES RETURN
                           USING u2018VALUE1'

ESS: Who's Who Authorization Checks

Hi,
I am testing the ESS iView (tcode PZ01) in the Portal and it seems to be restricting the search results by my authorizations. I am not getting a full list of people in the system. Anyone know how to turn-off this authorization check?
I noticed this only happens when I changed the ESS Who's Who customizing in the IMG for PZ01. If I uncheck the checkbox 'Output fields list', then it checks authorzations. I'm thinking this has something to do with using the BAPI vs. using the query infoset, as the documentation states.

Old post but I have had a similar issue and it was caused by P_ORGIN
Infortype 0105 subtype?????
Seem if the subtype is restricted then they are not displayed if subtype populated in the HR record.

Authorization check flow

Hello Folks,
I wonder if some one can help clearing a doubt of mine.
The standard definition one finds on the net for Authorization check maintenance in SU24 for transactions is:
CM = Check performed AND object added in PFCG when tcode added to the role.
C = Check performed BUT object not added in PFCG when tcode added to the role.
N = No check OR check will return sy-subrc = 0 even if the user does not have the authorization.
U = Unknown. A check will may be hardcoded in the program, or maybe not.
My take on the above definitions is:
example object: V_VBAK_AAT
if
CM for V_VBAK_AAT the object is included in the role while working with PFCG.
As per the definition check performed on object and object added.
Question 1: Even if the object is maintained as CM it would not make a difference if the check is not coded in the program (authority-check). Would it?
If
C check performed but object not added
Question 2: If a check is going to be made on this object, why not include it in the role i.e mark it as CM? I was once told that these are objects that are most commonly used and hence from a BASIS point of view that the roll buffer will have that much less authorizations to load. But that does not ring true to me.
If
N - check will return value 0 thereby allowing the user through even though he does not have the authorization to do so
Question 3: Why suppress a check that is coded into the prgram in the first place. After all, the whole idea of Security is "any authorization not explicitly assigned" means NO AUTHORIZATION
For the last couple of years that i have been working on this, i have accepted this, as one would, the bible :-)...
But now i wonder if there will be some enlightenment....

Prashant

no, it wouldn't. the check has to be coded.

because you would have many obsolete objects in your role, depending on the setup of your applications, the org-structure and several other things (mostly in configuration), whether an extension-set is active, a special IS used ...

here one can only guess. one scenario might be: due to a bug in a SAP standard BAPI you deactivate the check until you get a correction from SAP. you have to do this to keep up the business ...

Authorization Checks in Z programs

Dear Experts,
Fist of all, thanks for your time. We're being asked to review each Functional Specification in the company to suggest to the developement team the standard objects that should be included in the code in order to restrict the access within each developement. My understanding was that, as an standard practice, developers only use bapis, standard functions or call transactions in their code, for which we should be covered, as SAP includes standard object checks in them (so when using a bapi associated to VA01, the objects in the code for VA01 are being checked). The exception for this are reports, for which we have a Z object with most of the Organizational Values like Company Code, Plant, etc to allow restrictions to take place (and developers are supposed to include this check in this code).
My first question is: is it true that bapis, standard functions and call transactions use the regular standard objects when being executed?.
If this is the case, is there any point in suggesting the objects to be checked to the developers?. It looks as if this would be redundant, as SAP is making sure they're being checked when bapis, standard functions and call transactions are executed...(exception made for reports, as mentioned)
Thanks a lot for your help!!
Best regards,
CMPT

Hi,
It is always a good idea for the Z transaction review to be performed by the Security consultant. After all it will be his responsibility later on to restrict access to the transaction. You can always ask for the functional consultant's help with understanding the use of the transaction
In case the custom transaction has been created similar to or is an enhancement on a standard SAP transaction, then it is always a good idea to have at least the same authorization checks for the Z txn also.
For new developments you need to ensure that the authorization checks need to be implemented based on the functionality of the txn and the data it manipulates. For eg., if you have a Z-txn to make changes to purchase orders, you need to ensure that the program checks for change activity for Purchasing Org, Purchasing Group and Plant values and any other authorization relevant data.
The auth objects to be used depends entirely on the data and the functional module the custom program belongs to. I generally prefer to use SAP standard objects where possible. Else create new auth objects as per requirement.

Authorization check for posting a specified movement type on certain plant

<h5>Iu2019m posting goods movements using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE, I have to check If the user has authorities for posting for a specified movement type on certain plant.
How do I implement it, do I need to create a authorization object with ACTVT, WERKS and BWART, what will be value of ACTVT in this case?
Or is there any other way through which the BAPI can automatically check for authorization.</h5>

Just to bring to your notice that authorization check is done by the BAPI. Please check the function module.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_MSEG_WMB'
              ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '03'
              ID 'WERKS' FIELD I_MSEG-WERKS.
     AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_MSEG_BMB'
              ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '03'
              ID 'BWART' FIELD I_MSEG-BWART.

Issues with Analysis Authorization checks in APO

Hi Friends,
I am facing an issue with Analysis authorization checks in APO.
We have setup user access based on Management Entity (Analysis authorization - AGMMGTENT and 0TCAACTVT) and core APO authorizations (based on the work profile - e.g: Demand Planner).
Scenario: Consider User A has access to India and Australia Management Entities with 0TCAACTVT - *
This user also has display access to all management Entities (AGMMGTENT - * and 0TCAACTVT - 03). This scenario works very well in Quality where the RSECADMIN trace shows check on both Characteristics. However in Production the RSECADMIN trace shows up only against AGMMGTENT (*) and by default takes 0TCAACTVT as (*).
In Quality the Characteristics that get checked are as below : and it works as expected. Display access for Management Entities that are supposed to be displayed only and change access to only the Management Entities that it should.
However the Trace for Production shows the following : As a result it is allowing the user to change access to all management Entities. Which is not desirable..
Resultant trace results are as below: This should not happen..
I have compared all Analysis Authorizations and it is same across both Instances. The Demand planner access is consistent too..
Will it be possible for you to advise on what could I be missing.

Hi All,
If it helps, in Quality: the Authorization checks are listed as: Subselection (Technical SUBNR) 1
while in Production it checks Subselection (Technical SUBNR) 1 in one place, however where it fails - the check happens as Subselection (Technical SUBNR) 0.
Is there a way we can change this to SUBNR 1. Is there any table entry that I can look at to check if the Authorization check is functioning incorrectly..
Please advise.. Thanks..

Prakash

HR ABAP Custom Authorization Check

Hi all,
We know that Implicit authorization check is carried out. The system determines whether the user has the authorizations required for the organizational features of the employees selected with
GET PERNR.
I have a question, if we create a custom authorization then, whether this custom authorization is checked or not.
Thanks in Advance.

There is no difference in the coding of the check, which as RJ has stated needs to be somewhere at the correct coding location... otherwise it is going no where.
Some special differences are:
- The object class of the custom object in SU21 => Authorization objects in HR cannot be deactived context specifically in SU24. You can create custom objects within SAP classes.
- Depending on the transport type of your system, you will have to maintain transaction SU24 with a check indicator for the object - so make in known that the transaction has the capability to check the object. This does not affect "customer" systems, but is still a very good practice for the same reason that SAP forces it in their own development systems.
- Additional object checks in SE93 (which are typically "plausibility" checks) are not subject to this restraint. The check is always there, and your ability to bypass it is limited if you check the tcode authority of the caller at initialization of the (called) coding context. CALL TRANSACTION will skip this check, unless the called transaction is sy-tcode already (as it is in variant transactions... which urban legends claim to be secured to use for CALL TRANSACTION).
This concept is to a large extent influenced by SAP's own development guidelines and "settings" - but it is advisable to understand them and the intended authorization concept - to be able to create consistent customer implementations of SAP products.
Of course there are exceptions to the rules... but they generally cause problems and sooner or later need to be corrected as well when the auditors get hold of them....
Cheers,
Julius

Authorization check in LDB PNP

Hi All,
I am using logical database PNP in my report program and GET PERNR to fill the infotype tables. Infotype level authorization checks are performed but not Org data level (organizational assignments). The role assigned to me has access to data of specific personnel areas but I am able to retrieve data of all personnel areas (this was maintained in the authorization object P_ORGIN).
I read the level of simplification should have a value 1 in the authorization object P_ABAP for Org Level authorizations to be performed. I have updated my role but still org level authorizations are not performed.
Can you please let me know if any special setting are to be done like in Tcode OOAC or set some flags/parameters in the report program to perform org data level authorization.
Any information provided will be really helpful.
Thanks,
Pavan

Hi,
A separate ID was created in an environment similar to production and proper authorization were assigned to it (I mean roles with authorization objcts P_ABAP - level of simplfication 1 and P_ORGIN - restricting based on personnel area). Still Org level authorizations were not performed while using the LDB PNP. Is there anything I am missing?
Thanks,
Pavan

Authorization checks for PNP LDB

question : how to validate authorization checks for pnp logical database?
2 nd question: hr report
this report is basically for salary survey. in this i had so many fields can any body let me know how
can i form the internal tables. and i have to display overall 150 fields in csv file for that
how can i take in to the final internal table.
what is the logic behind this:
T71JPR09-JOBCODE
PA0000-PERNR
HRP1000-STEXT
P0006-PSTLZ
PA0008-ANSAL * 100 / PA0008-BSGRD

PA0761-GRADT WHERE PA0761-CPLAN = LTI PLAN PSU YEAR 1
PA0761-ZZGRANT WHERE PA0761-CPLAN = LTI PLAN PSU YEAR 1
PA0761-LTEXT WHERE PA0761-CPLAN = LTI PLAN esu YEAR 1
like that i had.
please give me the steps how can i proceed.

Hi,
The PNP database will take care of authorization check. It will not execute if used does not have authorizations.
Hope this helps.

CRM - Process Flow of Authorization Check in Business Transactions

Hello Folks:
I have implemented CRM security using Process Flow of Authorization Check in Business Transactions.
What I have in place:
CRM_ORD_OP (inactive, don't want access to own documents)
CRM_ORD_LP (inactive, not using standard org level values Distribution Channel, Sales Group, Sales Office, Sales Organization, and Service Organization.)
CRM_ACT (active)
CRM_CMP (active)
CRM_ORD_OE (active, restricted to display with dummy value ' ' for Distribution Channel
Sales Group, Sales Office, Sales Organization and Service Organization, as we are not restricting on them)
CRM_ORD_PR (active and restricted to display)
Issue:
Restrictions to display for documents works fine when using CRM backend system and the system throws out a message that you are not authorized to change. But, when i come in through Portals (PCUI), i dont get the display at all and it throws out a message insufficient access authorizations.
Traces on backend CRM reveal failing on change access for CRM_ORD_LP and CRM_ORD_PR, which we dont want to give out b/c we dont want to provide change for documents.
OSS notes to SAP have resulted in no results....please advise what is wrong here.
Thanks
KT

Thanks for the Priyanka for the reply, but what you mention is not correct.
BSP errors are different from what I am refering to.
The issue is still open...and looks like a SAP bug, which even they havent been able to fix so far.

Document search error in webshop(Error in authorization check: user unknow)

Hi All
actually we have implemented the document search functionality in webshop to access all the documents in webshop who have created order in the webshop.
actually when i am logging into the portal with userid "skumar" after that there was role called "Document Search" when i click that document search role then the document search will be opened, based on the selections in the selection criteria then the documents will be displayed generally.
actually come to my error when i select in the selection criteria "order acknowledgement" and i select the one more column called "period" after that i click the search button then i am getting the error as follows.
<b>Error in authorization check: user unknown.</b>
Can you please help me where to check the authorizations in the system for accessing the documents.
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil generally this kind of error will occur when you choose acknoledgement
for Future Periods,eventhough input is past date if the same problem occurs you should check for Su05 Internet USer authoriasations

Create authorization check for a report

Hi,
I need to create an authorization check for a report. It means that I need to restrict the usage of the report to couple of users ( 'USER1' and 'USER2' ). How can I do that? I did read through a lot of threads regarding this piece got a bit confused and stuck while creating the authorization object.
Say the report name is ZHR_TIMEABC.
Can anyone explain how to create an authorization object and how are they tied to the object and call them in the abap code?
Thanks in advance,
VG

Hi,
Thanks. Here is my understanding, S_C_FUNCT calls a system generated function module to make an authority check. So, if different users say USER1 and USER2 have different authroization levels, defined in their user profile, just adding this piece code will take care of authroization check for the program OR do I need to take care of something else?
If so, when do we need to create the authorization objects using SU20 and assign the group and follo this process? When do we use this approach ( lot of threads on authority check have mentioned this procedure)?
Your inputs will be helpful to understand this concept.
Thanks,
VG

Add authorization check in Infopackage Scheduler for option 6-ABAP Routine

We want to add an authorization check in routine rssm_routines_maintain. This is in the Infopackage scheduler in the Data Selection tab under the column Type after selecting type=6(ABAP Routine). This is a core modification. We have checked with our Security team with traces and found nothing available to help us.
Two questions:
1) Is there any other way we can control who can create/change ABAP code by this method ?
2) Does anyone see this causing problems if we were to make a change to the routine to add code to do an authorization check.
Your help would be appreciated.

Hi Chandran, we need to restrict a certain group of BW Developers from writing code in the abap routine (option 6 ) in the Infopackage of the Data Selection Tab in column Type.
The concern is that if having access to write abap code, a person can practically do as heéshe pleases with ABAP code and it is a concern.
Do you have any solution/suggestions to lock this down?
Much appreciated,

Authorization Check for Special Stock Indicator in IE02

Dear Gurus,
Would like to check with you if there is an authorization check for change in Special Stock Indicator in IE02-SerData Tab?
For example, the User will only be allowed to change the Special Stock Indicator only to "E" - Sales Order.
Would appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hi,
This cannot be done by using standard auth object. Standard SAP doesnt support control via this field.
Take help of your ABAP team and create an customized authorization object "Z_OBJECT" with field SOBKZ and which check these field value in table EQBS. Assign this auth object to role and profile you want.
Use the user exit IEQM0003 Additional checks before equipment update. Give a logic to check auth object when while using equipment change tcode.
