How to restrict users from printing documents and exporting to local file

Question

Hi SAP gurus,
I have two questions.
1. How can I restrict users from printing a document? i.e. billdoc? I would like to know if I could block it though authorization. If yes, what auth obj to use?
2. How to restrict certain users from exporting to local file? the System> List>Save-->Local File. I have tried restricting it using auth object S_GUI but it seems it is only applicable to older versions of SAP. im on ecc6.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Check this:
Create your own gui status and attach it to the list in the event START-OF-SELECTION.
In the menu painter extra -> adjust template.
Make it a list status and you will see all the standard list options appear including list->download
Deactivate the ones you don't want. 
If you just want to prevent users from downloading the list you can achieve this with authorization object S_GUI, activity 61. Menu option will still be there though.
Please note that if you remove authorisation for S_GUI activity 61 then all downloads will not be possible. 
If you just want to disable downloads only for a particular report, you can try this test program:
Code:
REPORT ztest. 
  DATA: PROGNAME LIKE SY-CPROG value 'Z_CHECK_AUTH', 
        FORMNAME LIKE SY-XFORM value 'F_CHECK_AUTH'.
START-OF-SELECTION. 
    CALL FUNCTION 'SET_DOWNLOAD_AUTHORITY' 
         EXPORTING 
              FORM    = FORMNAME 
              PROG    = PROGNAME 
         EXCEPTIONS 
              OTHERS  = 1.
  WRITE: / 'TEST'.
You also need this:
Code:
PROGRAM z_check_auth.
FORM f_check_auth USING pe_result TYPE i. 
  pe_result = 5. 
ENDFORM.
Also have a look at the exit SGRPDL00.
Hope this helps you.
