Giftedbrain,
Authorization Object:
An authorization object groups up to ten fields that are related by AND.
An authorization object allows complex tests of an authorization for multiple conditions. Authorizations allow users to execute actions within the system. For an authorization check to be successful, all field values of the authorization object must be appropriately maintained in the user master.
Authorization objects are divided into classes for comprehensibility. An object class is a logical combination of authorization objects and corresponds, for example, to an application (financial accounting, human resources, and so on). The line of the authorization object class is colored orange in the profile generator.
For information about maintaining the authorization values, double click an authorization object.
The line of the authorization object is colored green in the profile generator.
Authorization:
Definition of an authorization object, that is, a combination of permissible values in each authorization field of an authorization object.
An authorization enables you to perform a particular activity in the SAP System, based on a set of authorization object field values.
Authorizations allow you to specify any number of single values or value ranges for a field of an authorization object. You can also allow all values, or allow an empty field as a permissible value.
If you change authorizations, all users whose authorization profile contains these authorizations are affected.
As a system administrator, you can change authorizations in the following ways:
· You can extend and change the SAP defaults with role maintenance.
· You can change authorizations manually. These changes take effect for the relevant users as soon as you activate the authorization.
The programmer of a function decides whether, where and how authorizations are to be checked. The program determines whether the user has sufficient authorization for a particular activity. To do this, it compares the field values specified in the program with the values contained in the authorizations of the user master record.
The line of the authorization is colored yellow in the profile generator.

What is authorization object and how to create it for a table

Hi All,
What is authorization object and how to create it for a table?
Thanks

Hi
Authorization
For authorization checks, there are many ways of linking authorization objects with user actions in an SAP system. The following discusses three possibilities in the context of ABAP programming.
Authorization Check for Transactions
You can directly link authorization objects with transaction codes. You can enter values for the fields of an authorization object in the transaction maintenance. Before the transaction is executed, the system compares these values with the values in the user master record and only starts the transaction if the appropriate authorization exists.
Authorization Check for ABAP Programs
For ABAP programs, the two objects S_DEVELOP (program development and program execution) and S_PROGRAM (program maintenance) exist. They contains a field P_GROUP that is connected with the program attribute authorization group. Thus, you can assign users program-specific authorizations for individual ABAP programs.
Authorization Check in ABAP Programs
A more sophisticated, user-programmed authorization check is possible using the Authority-Check statement. It allows you to check the entries in the user master record for specific authorization objects against any other values. Therefore, if a transaction or program is not sufficiently protected or not every user that is authorized to use the program can also execute all the actions, this statement must be used.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT object
                        ID name1 FIELD f1
                        ID name2 FIELD f2
                        ID namen FIELD fn.
object is the name of an authorization object. With name1, name2 ... , and so on, you must list all fields of the authorization object object. With f1, f2 ... , and so on, you must specify the values that the system is to check against the entries in the relevant authorization of the user master record. The AUTHORITY-CHECK statement searches for the specified object in the user profile and checks the useru2019s authorizations for all values of f1, f2 ... . You can avoid checking a field name1, name2 ... by replacing FIELD f1 FIELD f2 with DUMMY.
After the FIELD addition, you can only specify an elementary field, not a selection table. However, there are function modules available that execute the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement for all values of selection tables. The AUTHORITY-CHECK statement is supported by a statement pattern.
Only if the user has all authorizations, is the return value sy-subrc of the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement set to 0. The most important return values are:
·        0: The user has an authorization for all specified values.
·        4: The user does not have the authorization.
·        8: The number of specified fields is incorrect.
·        12: The specified authorization object does not exist.
A list of all possible return values is available in the ABAP keyword documentation. The content of sy-subrc has to be closely examined to ascertain the result of the authorization check and react accordingly.
REPORT demo_authorithy_check.
PARAMETERS pa_carr LIKE sflight-carrid.
DATA wa_flights LIKE demo_focc.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_CARRID'
                  ID 'CARRID' FIELD pa_carr

IF sy-subrc = 4.

Custom authorization object and check logic

Hi gurus,
we need to apply additional authorization check in our custom reports.
so i created a custom fields & object, and put the statement
      AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'ZHR_APP01' FOR USER uname
               ID 'ZROLEID' FIELD '03'
               ID 'ZSOBID' FIELD zzdwbm.
in a abap class method centrally, so it could be called by many reports.
but the test show that the sy-subrc always set to 0, even for users without any authorization.
what i missed for adding custom auth check?
for this case, do i need to maintain authorization check indicator in SU24?
what i am confused is that , su24, you have to maintain a transaction , but our authorization check is not for transaction , but for reports and bsp application, how should i maintain su24 for that?
thanks and best regards.
Jun

Hi,
I have created a Custom Authorization Object for HR named Z_ORIGIN (it has Personnel Subarea field BTRTL besides what's there in Auth. Object P_ORIGIN) and made it Check/Maintain for transaction PA30 in SU24.
I can see the entries in the USOBT_C & USOBX_C tables for this object, I am also able to add this object in the roles as well.
Everything looks fine, but when I execute the transaction the object Z_ORIGIN is never checked (for a user having this object in his/her User Master). Only P_ORIGIN object is checked instead.
We've ran the report RPUACG00 also which is mentioned in this thread.
We also coded the authority check code in the both user exit ZXPADU01 and ZXPADU02 for PA infotype operations
I believe I'll have to write some ABAP code e.g. AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'ZP_ORGIN' etc. Can anybody tell which User Exit or Field Exit I'll have to put the AUTHORITY-CHECK code in, so that my new custom authorization object is alwayz checked
but still it is taking the P_ORGIN object.

Authorization Objects and RSABAPSC

Hi All,
I'm trying to get all the authorization objects associated with a program, without using system trace. I've tried using RSABAPSC but there are some programs that it doesn't output any authorization objects. When I checked using system trace, these programs do have auth objects. Does this mean that there are no authorization checks written in the program code?
Apart from using system trace and RSABAPSC, are there other ways of getting the authorization objects?

Hello Benedict,
I think that a trace (ST01) would be better. You can try with a user that has all the authorizations and you'll be able to see all the checks that were performed.
Anyway, I think that there's no "perfect method" and as I said before the checks depend on the program flow. Also have a look at here: http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1837972
Are you trying to get the authorizations for a custom program? If not, why don't you start with SU24 proposals and testing scenarios? You'll probably get better answers in the Security forum.
Cheers,
Diego.

TCT* Info objects and Authorization objects

When defining an authorisation object do I need to include TCT* info objects as fields in the authorisation object and if so why and which ones are required - if this is different for different scenario could someone elaborate? Thanks

Hi,
yes... you need to include the TCT fields as you would like to restrict the users based on the infoproviders and the time duration.
Since in any organozation you have many type of users like the super users who can access anything...end users who have access to areas related to them only and may be some other kind as well.
Suppose if a user is beloging to FICO department and he is only suppose to use the reports based on GL cubes then you will create an authorization object where you will give the values for authorization relavent objects like company codes,sales org and additionally you will maintain the value for the cube in 0TCAIPROV field.
when you assign the user to this object he will only see the data in the queries based on the FICO cube and that too for the company codes specified in the authorization object.
Now if there is another user who can see the data for all the company codes and all the areas but only for certain duration then you will create a new authorization object where you will not give any values for any object but will keep it as * but will maintain 0TCAVALID objects and give the validity period here.
Thanks

Authorization object and document management

Hi !
I'm french so please excuse my english level
I'm not a technical consultant but my manager gave me the responsibility of authorization in a SAP BW project.
There are several projects in the same system. A man in my team implemented a document fonctionality. When using BPS for planning, the user can create a document that will be bonded to a cell and will be displayed in queries.
For my project, I implemented two authorization objects (AO): Division and region.
My problem is that users of my project can't see the documents created if they're not autorized for ALL the AO existing in the system (aboute 12), even if theses AO are not involved in my project and not checked in the cubes and multiproviders of
my project. I have to put "#" in profils for each specific AO existing in the systems.
When I check in "RSSM", I see that these AO are not in relation with my info providers.
I think it is a bug but if someone could help me it would be great !
Thanks a lot.
Best regards
Rémy

Business Document Service: Cla OT
And restrict in the role with your customer AO
hope it help's

Authorization objects and screen elements

i would like to enable/disable a button on screen using authorization object.
haw this can be done.
please help....

In the PBO of that screen just do an authority-check on the authotization object (if there is no standard object you can use, you have to create a custom one). In case the authorization fails set the button to inactive.
authority-check object 'authorization object'
   ID 'object id name'
   field 'field value'.
lv_subrc = sy-subrc.
loop at screen.
if screen-name eq 'field name of button'.
    if lv_subrc eq 0.
      screen-active = 1.
    else.
      screen-active = 0.
    endif.
    modify screen.
endif.
endloop.
That should do it,
Michael

Role creation and authorization objects in sap

Hi
i want to know the full relationship between creation of roles , authorization objects ,authorizations in web as abap
Please explain the process in detail the use of PFCG and all its options and how to create Z roles

Although, It would be a very long document to explain the query, I have briefed you on the concept. I hope it leads you well.
- Roles are nothing but a container for authorizations. A role represents a specific part of an employeeu2019s job.
- The R/3 authorization concept permits the assignment of either general and/or finely detailed user authorizations. These assignments can reach down to transactions, field and field value level.
For e.g. If a user wants to create a PO we can restrict him on:
u2022     Activity : Create/Change/Display
u2022     Org elements like Company Code, Plant, Purchase Organization etc
u2022     Document type etc.
- Authorization objects are grouped in an object class such as Materials Management: Master Data (MM_G). Each Object Class may have several authorization objects and within each object we can have several authorizations (max. up to 99).
- Fields :The permissible values for the fields constitute the authorization. For e.g. ACTVT (Activity) is a field with permissible values of 01 (Create), 02 (Change) & (03 Display) for the object M_MATE_CHG (Material Master: Batches/Trading Units). Value * for field BEGRU signifies all possible values.
- An authorization allows you to carry out an R/3 task based on a set of field values in an authorization object. By themselves authorizations do not exist and they only have a meaning inside a profile
- Authorizations are contained within profiles and these profiles are assigned to users manually or automatically via role assignment. When you assign the field values for all the authorization objects and save system will auto generate a profile name.
- Authorization check are included in the transactions source code in standard SAP R/3.A user may carry out an action if the authorization check is successful for each field in the object.

Authorization checks and objects

Do you have a tutorial for this topic for dummies? thanx in advance

Hi
In general different users will be given different authorizations based on their role in the orgn.
We create ROLES and assign the Authorization and TCODES for that role, so only that user can have access to those T Codes.
USe SUIM and SU21 T codes for this.
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.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/52/67167f439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
To ensure that a user has the appropriate authorizations when he or she performs an action, users are subject to authorization checks.
Authorization : An authorization enables you to perform a particular activity in the SAP System, based on a set of authorization object field values.
You program the authorization check using the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TRVL_BKS'
ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'
ID 'CUSTTYPE' FIELD 'B'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE E...
ENDIF.
'S_TRVL_BKS' is a auth. object
ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02' in place 2 you can put 1,2, 3 for change create or display.
The AUTHORITY-CHECK checks whether a user has the appropriate authorization to execute a particular activity.
This Authorization concept is somewhat linked with BASIS people.
As a developer you may not have access to access to SU21 Transaction where you have to define, authorizations, Objects and for nthat object you assign fields and values. Another Tcode is PFCG where you can assign these authrization objects and TCodes for a profile and that profile in turn attached to a particular user.
Take the help of the basis Guy and create and use.
Thanks
Seshu
