Authorization objects in PM notification

Hello all,
I would like to check if there is any possiblity to prohibit changing the line items of activities in PM notification thru security with authorization objects. I did checked with standard default objects and does not see anything related to activities.
Basically I want to restrict changing the line items of activities
Mahee

Thanks fro your responses guys. I am not pretty sure SHD0 should work for me as it might totally disabled the entire line items before giving the input itself if I am correct. Basically I want to input the data first in activity tab and then upon save..it should be grayed out only for that line item so that nobody could change it.
Pete - Will the mentioned user exit will work for this ?
I am also trying to think about change log option to track the changes. But I could NOT able to see the values populated in old value and new value in change log...is there any config to be made ? If I got this, I would go with this option rather blocking it..as we always have a track that who made the changes to it.

Authorization object for Notification Disconnect button

Hi Group
Do We have any authorization object which control
Notification Disconnect button in IW32 Order Header screen

Refer below screen shot.
While trying to remove order assignment from notification, above shown error message has come. Hope, this is what you are expecting both in assignment as well as removal of assignment.
Check your roles & assignment of appropriate field values in those roles. If you are not comfortable in PFCG, discuss with Basis consultants.
Check Authorization Object I_VORG_MEL as well for the previously mentioned values.

How to add custom authorization object to a SAP standard transaction

Hi All,
I have a standard tcode IW22 (change PM Notification) and I would lock changing when some users modify the field Functional Location (field TPLNR).
Since this field does not have an authorization object associated, I've tried to solve this problem with the following steps:
- tcode SU20 - creation of new authorization field TPLNR with data element TPLNR
- tcode SU21 - creation of a new auth object in transaction SU21 with name ZPM and field (TPLNR, ACTVT and TCOD)
- tcode SU24 - insert of new authorization field e check indicator (green)
- tcode SU22 - check indicator - check (green)
After this we have created a new role with PFCG and add transaction IW22; the new auth.ZPM was added manually.
We have try to analyze log (ST01 trace) but it seems no check was made in the trace file.
It seems new authorization object was not checked.
My question is: "Is it possible to add a custom authorization object into standard transaction and implementing authorization check without writing abap code in exit or badi ?"
Thanks
Maurizio

No .. not possible. The list of Auth. objects SAP proposed in SU24 for each Stnd. SAP TCodes are basically documentation of the Authority-Checks in the program for that TCode. The extra advantage of SU24 is to set the object status (means the proposal for availability in PFCG) among any of the four check indicators. So that we can provide our own value (customer specific values which are basically defined and separate from sap provided values) and reinforce the authorization concept of the organization.
So you need to provide a Authority-Check for ZPM in the program of IW22 to make sure that the fields you want to be checked are really being checked during execution of the tcode.

Authorization object & Business operation for issue permit & reject permit

Hi all,
I have created a new notification type (copied from PM) and have assigned tasks to the notification. In this notification i wanted to use the icons issue permit and reject permit for certain users (but not for all). So i need to provide the business operations to the basis guy to attach it for the specified roles.
I am not able to find these business operations.
Any help on the above would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Santosh.

Hi,
Pls check authorization object used to control the assign or issue a particular permit
Object: I_SOGEN
Sorry u can not control the authorization bcoz above object not works for notification also there is no business operation in notification to control the approval or rejection of permit.
U have to use the user status by which u can control the approval or rejection of permit.

How to assign authorization objects to a cube

Hello,
My cube includes 0profit_ctr which is marked as authorization relevant. Still in RSSM my cube is not included in the list of infocubes for an authorization object (zprofit) linked to 0profit_ctr. I'm therefore not able to enable that authorization object for my cube. I have a few ODSs which are included in the list. Why is my cube missing? Is there something I must do to include it, or is it a bug?
When checking the infocube for authorization objects in RSSM this list is empty as well. I don't see any option to add authorization objects in that list.
I have read the following document:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b849e690-0201-0010-9b88-c00cca40736f
I'm using BW 3.5.
Regards,
Christoffer

Hi Christoffer,
In RSSM you will find a button "Update Check Status ( Authorization Objects, Info providers) ". After this update you should find your cube in the list.

How to get all authorization objects for a certain authorization profile

Hi ABAP experts,
I have the following problem: for a certain authorization profile of a role (created with transaction PFCG) I would like to get all contained authorization objects: e.g. for the contained object PLOG I would like to know/read all corresponding parameter values.
So:
- where are these values stored (dictionary table)?
- is there already a FM or a report to read all authoriation values for a certain authorization profile?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Oliver

Mass update to FILENAME field in S_DATASET authorization object

We are migrating to a new fileserver with a new hostname, and so I've been asked to update about 1900 instances of the S_DATASET authorization object for the new FILENAME value. I'd like to do this programmatically if possible.
What I've learned so far is that I need to update the value in table USR12, but the value is encoded. When I look at the table in SE16, I do not see the encoded value field. The value does show in UST12, but I'm told this is an unreliable table.
So I'd like to know..
1. How can I look at the value if not in SE16?
2. Is there an API I can use to encode/decode the value? If not, where is the specification on how to build it?
If this is better addressed in a different forum, which one should I try next?
Thanks,
Dan

Hi there,
Okay I started a few tests and made a bit of progress, but am running into the problem that if I don't check the authority first using the FM and want to test what happens when the user is not authorized, then the bugger dumps (as expected and mentioned in the note)...
But the behaviour as you have described:
>
> Path                   Saveflag Fs_noread Fs_nowrite Fs_Brgru
> =============================================================
> *                                 X         X            DUMY
> /temp/FI/..                       X         X            DUMY
> /temp/FI               X                                 FIFI
>
... is correct, and I found something interesting in the F1 on the spth-path field which explains this.
> Caution:
> - If you enter paths generically in the table SPTH, the most precise specification counts.
> - If you select the no-read or no-write fields in the table SPTH, this overrides the authorization group.
So, the DUMY is not needed as the check does not use it in those cases, and "/temp/FI/.." is anyway more specific than "*" so the system would have used it for DUMY anyway. But that is irrelevant... because if the begru field is empty in the FM, then the check is not performed.
So, the only check which is effective to protect the path, is:
Path                   Saveflag Fs_noread Fs_nowrite Fs_Brgru
=============================================================
/temp/FI               X                                           FIFI
... and the "fs_noread" and "fs_nowrite" flags should be understood as "no protectable authority to read" and "no protectable authority to write" and not the activity field which the authority is being checked against. This is coming from the S_DATASET check (which is already known at that time to the function module).
Using these flags, you can leave the entries in the table without having to delete them if you want to turn them off and on temporarily. Perhaps an "active / inactive" switch would have been clearer...
form CHECK_PERMISSION using ISPTH_HEAD type SPTH
                            MODE       type CLIKE
                            SUBRC      type SY-SUBRC.
data: ACTIVITY like AUTHB-ACTVT.
   SUBRC = 0.
   case MODE.
     when 'R'.
          ACTIVITY = '03'.
     when 'W'.
          ACTIVITY = '02'.
     when 'D'.
          ACTIVITY = '02'.
   endcase.
   if ISPTH_HEAD-FS_BRGRU <> SPACE. "Here it is... for BEGRU checks there must be a value...
      authority-check object 'S_PATH'
          id 'FS_BRGRU' field ISPTH_HEAD-FS_BRGRU
          id 'ACTVT'    field ACTIVITY.
       if SY-SUBRC <> 0.
          SUBRC = 3.
       endif.
   endif.
endform.

Report to check authorization object used in customized programs

Hi Guys,
An auditor came and he raised a question to us, he asked whether all of our customized transactions and programs are maintained with authorization checks? The question is how can we check what authorization objects are used for our customized programs and transaction codes? The developer did not maintain the objects used for that program in SU24 table. Is there a program or a report to show us all the authorization object used for a customised program or transaction? Example : T-code MIGO we can check in SU24 table for all the authorization object used. How do we check for customized tcodes? Please advise. Thanks!
Edited by: Jarod Tan on Nov 25, 2010 9:42 AM

Note that some programs are built in such a way that no (visible) auth check is necessary, or even desired at all.
To determine the necessity of an auth check, you should check that starting it has an entry point (tcode, rfc, service) which is appropriately restricted. The rest (whether and where and how a further check is evaluated) is entirely dependent to what the program actually does.
Well designed applications generally have centralized functions and methods, and the checks are in there or a "base check" they use.
Others again use the same in UI programming to determine the visibility of functions, to make the application more intuitive for the user. This on it's own is however not a sufficient auth check to rely on.
Code review is an art form!

Analysis Authorization Object not working

Hi Gurus,
I m working on BI 7.0, I have created an analysis authorization object zz_div for 0DIVISION characteristic.
For a given report i want a given user to view only data for '32' and '33' 0DIVISION.
I have followed the below steps but still the report shows all data instead of restricted one.
1)RSECADMIN -> Maintenance ->zz_div ->Create
2) Add 0DIVISION in Auth structure , and in details
I     EQ     32
I     EQ     33
3) Add 0TCAIPROV with I     EQ     0SD_C03
4) Add 0TCAACTVT, 0TCAKYFNM, 0TCAVALID, this having details as
I     CP     *
5) Then in User tab -> Assignment -> User -> Change-> Inserted ZZ_DIV-> Save
6) In Query created a Authorization variable(with no input prompt) and restricted 0DIVISION.
Following are the authorization object in that user's Role (Reporting Only)
S_RFC
S_TCODE
S_GUI
S_BDS_D
S_BDS_DS
S_OC_SEND
S_RS_AUTH - only having zz_div
S_RS_COMP
S_RS_COMP1
S_RS_ICUBE
S_RS_RSTT
S_RS_TOOLS
S_RS_PARAM
I have surfed lots of thread for this issue but not getting a solution

Authorization object for running a report in background

Good day experts,
I tried running a report in background, I choose immediately so that it doesn't have to be scheduled. But when I checked it in my own jobs, It remains at scheduled status. When I tried it on my admin account, It works and with status finished. It seems to be an authorization problem. What object could I be missing with my user account? I tried S_TCODE SMX and SP02 but still not working.
Thanks in advance!

Hi karshbax,
What you're looking for is authorization object S_BTCH_JOB. You need authorization for field JOBACTION = RELE.
In future use transaction SU53. It shows last error authorization error, so if this is authorization problem then after try of manual releasing of job you'll find in SU53 precise info what went wrong.

MRS - authorization objects (Multi Resource Scheduling)

Hello,
We are implementing MRS for a customer who does not have proper structural authorizations in place, and they would like to avoid using evaluation paths for the authorization check.
Is there a way to use cost centers to limit user access in MRS? We tried to use cost centers in auth. object MRSS/PB1, but it does not work.
Is it possible to modify the default MRS auth. objects and add some extra auth. fields? Would that auth. check work in planning board?
Is there any other way to limit user access in MRS planning board rather than using evaluation paths?
Thank you
Simon

Hi Simon,
I have checked the authorization objects related to MRSS in SU24 where I can see based on the T code. Did you find a way how to get relevant for SAP MRS only like the Resource Planner etc authorizations he need if you have found something like that please share.
Thank you

How to restrict provide to a single account(by authorization object)

Hello, i have two types of accounts.
Account range 1: 10000000 -19999999
Account range 2: 20000000 - 29999999
For range 1 i have assigned authorization group AUT1.
For range 2 i have assigned authorization group AUT2 (by transaction OB_GLACC12).
So the general idea is some users will have access only to group 1 , etc. i have used autorization object F_BKPF_BES in the role btw.
I have created 4 roles:
1) RANGE1_ALL (means user can create / modify delete GL from range 1)
2) RANGE1_DISP(means user can only disp GL from range 1)
3) RANGE2_ALL(means user can create / modify delete GL from range 2)
4) RANGE2_DISP(means user can only disp GL from range 1)
If i give RANGE1_ALL + RANGE2_DISP to the user, he can create/modify/delete for range1 and only display GLS from range2.
Now the problem is if i want user to create/modify/delete for range1 but only display a specific account from range 2 ; say GL 29999000.
Which authorization object can i use to specify the range 2 GL account directly?thx.

Hi,
The only option for you is to have a different authorisation object for that GL alone and assign it to the user. You dont assign RANGE2-DISPLAY object to that user.
From FS00, you have to change the Auth group of that specific GL.

Mike
