Check user role/authorization during Web report run-time?

Hello again,
I ran into a problem. I need to check <b>user's authorization during webtemplate execution (run-time)</b>. I want to have a possibility to allow in one web template extra functionality (through template menu) to key users. Normal users, who are running same report, should not have this extra menu visible.
Is it possible to check user authorizations or roles during web-template run-time?
Thank you!
Vitaliy

Hi Harinam,
From my logic your are right.
The restriction is in two new roles (Requestor and Approver role).
But ->
If I assign my approver role the selection possiblities of the request types during the AR creation is restricted and the AR search function does not work.
If I assign my requestor role the restriction of the request type is not there, but the AR search function works again. :-(
If I assign the original approver role of sap I have the same behavoiur for the AR search.
Both new roles are a 1:1 copy of the SAP standard roles - > Exception, ristriction on request type 'Execption Approval' is not displ.
I have execute ST01 now. If I try to open the log, the system syst "No records that correspond to these search criteria".
But I have found something else.
The problem appears only if I search for Process ID "Access Request Approval Workflow".
If I select other Process ID such as "Control Assignment Approval Workflow" or "Fire Fighter Log Report Review Workflow", everything works fine.
Very strange!

Roles & Authorizations for Web Reports...

Hello Experts,
We are newly implementing Web Reports in our organization. I need your great thoughts regarding implementing Authorizations for users to access the reports.
We are using a report menu page that contain links to all the reports. The page opens by clicking on a link on the portal. The individual reports are basically accessed from this page by clicking on the corresponding button (links a URL ).
I wonder if there is any way to look into the menu page (XHTML code of that web page/application) when ever the users click on the reports link and disable those buttons that the users are not allowed to access depending on the roles users are assigned to. Otherwise is there any better way to do it.
And also how to call a function from web applications.
This is a kind of urgent issue any quick ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I apologize for the difficulty in reading this I will repost.
We have had no training or received any documenation on WAD. The below was created from internet research. Hence there may be WAD functionality that would allow easier maintenance, however; this is what we use.
With our dashboard, I have a web template that contains hyperlinks for our reports. I will call this HeaderTemplate1. For each web page I have report templates. These report templates have the HeaderTemplate1 mentioned above as well as the report tables, charts, text elements, tabs, etc.
The JavaScript logic for accessing the urls of the specific report templates is contained within our HeaderTemplate1.
Below is how our setup was tested. Keep in mind, this was only for testing basic functionality. If this is something we use I will most likely create a master data table that houses the user ID and an attribute for the header type. Thus, any report menu changes can be altered quickly without changing the javascript of each report template. Also this will accomodate the few thousand users we have.
To add the functionality of different 'menus', I created another header template with the same hyperlinks of HeadertTemplate1 with the exception of one or two hyperlinks. This, HeaderTemplate2, was added to each report template just below HeaderTemplate1. Note that both HeaderTemplate1 and HeaderTemplate2 were set as visible on each report template.
Also, on each report template I added a text element. The 'List of Text Elements'property was set as such; Element Type = General Text Sympol, Element ID = SYUSER. This Text Element was linked to a query or view from BEx via the dataprovider. On the HTML side, I surrounded this Text Element with
<Font ID="UserID",,,textelement....</Font>
Each Report template has this javascript function, fnRepOnLoad, which is triggered at the OnLoad event.
[<SCRIPT language = "JAVASCRIPT">
function fnRepOnLoad()
    var user_ID=document.getElementById("UserID").innerHTML;
    if (user_ID=='USER123')
      document.all["HEADTMPLT1"].style.visibility = 'hidden';
      document.all["HEADTMPLT1"].style.position = 'absolute';
    else
      document.all["HEADTMPLT2"].style.visibility = 'hidden';
      document.all["HEADTMPLT2"].style.position = 'absolute';
</script>
The function results as this. If the user is USER123, HeaderTemplate1 is hidden, leaving only HeaderTemplate2 visible. Otherwise HeaderTemplate2 is invisible leaving on HeaderTemplate1 visible.
We do not use buttons as our global leaders prefer hyperlinks but buttons can be enabled or disabled similarly.
As mentioned before, if this method is implemented, I will create a reportable master data table. Create a customer exit variable to retrieve the header template required for the user. This header template variable value will then be pulled by a text element on each report template. The script function will act as follows. If many report headers are necessary I may use a case statement.
Var User_template=document.getElementById("UserTmplt").innerHTML;
If UserTmplt = HeaderTemplate1
--> make all header templates other than HeaderTemplate1 invisible
else
--> make all header templates other than HeaderTemplate2 invisible
etc...
I hope this helps. Please keep me posted with your solution. I am very interested to learn what others are doing.
Best Regards,
Larry

How can i see Log information of Report Run Time?

Hi Gurus,
How can i see Log information of Report Run Time?, till now i am counted report run time manually. Is there any way i can see the workbook running time in log information?.
Thanks & Regards
Vikram

There could be a few things -
At one time, you needed to run a separate script to create the tables. I'm not sure that is still the case. If you check the Administrators guide, look into the chapter that deals with the EUL Status Workbooks.
If you are not logged on as the eul owner, you may not have select privileges, or you may need to qualify the table with the schema (if there is no synonym) - select * from <eul_owner>.EUL5_QPP_STATS;
If you are on 4i, the table is EUL4_QPP_STATS

Authorization object in procurement that checks user role

Hi Experts,
Please let me know if we have any standard authorization objects in the transactions PO or PR that checks the SAP User role. Authorization check can be done by sap role, we are not botherd checking on company code, purchase group and so on, Is there any standard procedure to find out that or any function module available to check that by passing user role. << removed >>
Cheers
Mohan

easiest way to find all authorization objects is to execute SU24.
There you enter the transaction code for which you want find the authorization objects.

ECATT Test user roles (authorization check)

Dear all,
I want to test the authorizations on a SAP transaction using eCATT.
I have defined some generic users with specific roles and I want to "automatisate" the test with eCATT.
Is it possible to re-execute te transaction with different users within the same eCATT execution ?
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas!
At least not in a direct way (there is no call ... with user x).
But maybe you can work with several logical systems. You can run the eCATT remote - also on the same system (usually for different clients). When you use your generic users to log in automatically, then the execution will be done by the generic user.
It's easy to run the whole eCATT remote, but there has to be a possibility to run single steps remotely - that's for scenarios to follow a process with messages to other systems (e.g. ordering).

To increase Java heap size on the client computer, check SAP NOTE# 1201179 - Error: "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" when attempting to edit large Web Intelligence
Symptom
In BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2, when attempting to edit large Web Intelligence documents, the Internet Explorer browser stops responding. In the Java console, the following error message appears:
"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError".
Cause
The error message occurs because the instance of Java on the client computer has reached its memory threshold.
Resolution
To edit large Web Intelligence documents, the default memory size on the client computer must be increased.
To increase the default memory size
Click Start > Control Panel > Java Plug-in > Advanced.
Type "-Xms128m or -Xms256m" for the Java Runtime Parameters.
Click Apply.
Close all Internet Explorer windows.
Retry the report.
To automate the process the user can also create a script file that will update the deployment.properties file on each users' workstation. The file is located under C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment folder.
Modify the deployment.javapi.jre.<version>.args parameter in the deployment.properties file and add the xms and xmx parameters, for eg:
deployment.javapi.jre.1.5.0_12.args=-Xms128m -Xms256m
The Web Intelligence document can now be edited successfully

Authorizations for WEBI report based on BPC data model

Hi All,
We are strugelling with setting up authorisations for the reporting on BPC data model.
We created Bex query on top of Multiprovider that consists of BPC cube. The Bex query is source for WEBI output. The authorisations has been set up on BPC data model (cube) in BPC application but they are not passed nor to Bex query nor to Webi. Example: The query is build on top of OPEX BPC data model, this data model is restricted based on Oranizational Unit. My test user is allowed to see only Org Unit = 'Australia' in the OPEX BPC data model, however when I'm running the report I can see absolutely everything.
We are not connecting/using any BI cubes itself for this reporting. We are intrested only in the WEBI report based on BPC data models.
We were trying to use BPC data model (without any extra settings) as the source for BEx report, we were also trying to use virtual BPC data model as the source for Bex transient query - but non of these have helped.
Can you please advise how the authorisations should be set up for WEBI reporting on BPC data models?

Anybody can help with this issue please?

Checking user roles in FI Module

Hi,
Please let me know the points to be considered while checking the security and authorization in FI modules based on a user role.
Thanks,
Sridevi

Hi,
While defining the security roles, as a first step Composite roles, Single Roles are created. Transaction codes are attached to Single roles. A group of Single roles are attached to a Composite roles.
Based of Business requirements / Orgnaization structure in the Company in the sense VP. Finance / Controller / Sr.Manager / Manager etc., the composite roles and single roles are assigned to the positions. For example Vice President Finance will have full authorization to all composite roles.
Some of the users require only display authorization, in which case a role is created only incorporating transaction codes which display documents.
Thanks
Murali.
