Data Slice dynamic activation and deactivation for a set of users

Question

Hi Experts,
                 We have requirement to manually enter the data into RTC using IP.
There are 2 sets of users --> Power Users and Normal Users.
We need to allow the normal users to enter the data only from 1st to 5 th working day of every  month.
Power Users should have authorization to edit and enter the data at any time.
Can any one suggest how to set the dataslice using code.
Regards,

Hi.
Please note that update of RSPLS_DS table do not affects at RUNTIME.
If you want to create dataslice that activated and deactivated within sequence run you should do the next:
1. Create exit variable that return you all working days EXCEPT 1 to 5 of each month.
2. Create dataslice in modeler on this characteristic with restriction by this exit variable.
3. This dataslice should be based on ABAP class as described [here|https://www.box.net/shared/zhirrvk859].
4. In mydataslice method enter following code (I assume you have any DSO with definition whether user is power user or not. Lets say DSO has next structure:
USER   | Z_IS_POWER   |
aaaa    | NO
bbbb    | YES
Enter the next code in mydataslice method:
SELECT Z_IS_POWER FROM YOURDSO INTO lv_POWER WHERE USER=sy-uname.
IF sy-subrc = 0. *This is SUPER USER. Allow locked data edition
e_noinput = rs_c_false.
ELSE. *This is regular user. Do not allo locked data edition
e_noinput = rs_c_true.
5. Create in modeler 2 planning sequences for activating and deactivation dataslice as described in document.
6. Each time you want to do something with locked data run first sequence for deactivation of dataslice. If super user will run it so dataslice will be deactivated, but if regular user - dataslice will lock the data.
