Layout - User specific - this needs to be unchecked.

Dear friends,
We have created a Layout in the Report.  By default, User-specific tick is coming while saving the Layout.  Others are not able to select this report.  How to uncheck this tick ??
Regards
KVKR

It is most definitely an authorization issue.  You, like any security auth issue, should be able to type in /NSU53 and see what authorization objects you have and which ones were checked that failed.  That should give you the auth object/value you need to maintain global display variants.  Please note though that a lot of companies lock this down heavily as having this access not only gives you the ability to create new variants but also update other global layouts and change the default settings. 
From what I have typically seen IT has the global display authorizations and per the user requests creates them and makes them available for others.  Where this isn't in place I've seen the global layouts get all out of whack and we got many phone calls saying "this never used to look this way before so fix it!"
Check out OSS Note 409190 but in summary "There is the authorization object S_ALV_LAYO with the authorization field 'ACTVT' (activity) and the value '23' for "Maintain".All ALV versions (Classic, Grid Control and Grid in fullscreen) perform an authorization check against this object.Users whose profile contains the value '23' are then allowed to create and maintain standard layouts and save them as defaults.
The authorization object can be checked via transaction SU21, object class BC_Z, S_ALV_LAYO and only exists from Release 46C."
Hope that helps.

  • Copy user-specific layout to another user ID

    Does anybody know how to copy "user layout" information
    from current user ID to new user ID?
    At the end of every year, my company needs to give new user ID to all users
    due to security reason. For example, User ID for Y2008 is "user2008",
    and provide new user ID which is "user2009" for Y2009.
    The user is the same employee.
    Since he is the same person, of course he wish to keep using
    his user-specific layout for Y2009 continuously.
    So, I copied current user ID and create new user ID from SU01.
    Then, I found out that "user layout(user-specific layout)" information on FB03
    was NOT copied to new user ID.

    Hello,
    There is no need need to create a new user year.
    You can extend the validity of the same user id year by year. For example, you have created a user "TRAINEE01", initially when you have created you give the validity period from 01.01.2008 to 31.12.2008. Once the year is being closed, extend the validity from 01.01.2009 to 31.12.2009. This way you can avoid lot of maintenance cost as there are no redundancy of user IDs.
    There are many settings are user specific. In case if you create a new ID, the problem is that again he has to change all his / her settings. It would really cumbersome and they may not be knowing what changes made in the previous ID, as the system administrator might has stopped access to the old ID.

  • RAGITT_ALV01 managment standard & user-specific layouts

    Hi Guru,
    How can I manage the report's layouts f.g. report RAGITT_ALV01, F8, ctrlF9 or CtrlF12
    My users notoriously save theirs layouts as standard layout /RAGITTALV01 so I should close their permission to change standard layout. How can I do it?
    Moreover where can I manage all layout so I have to do some order. I am adm.
    Regards,
    Betta

    Hi,
    They are'nt the helpful transactions.
    The user runs report Asset History Sheet Based on Posted Depreciation (program RAGITT_ALV01) and there is the layout (CtrlF8) which is save (CtrlF12) as no user-specyfic with name begins /          The users should only create own layout with 'Z' or 'Y' first letter name and mustn't create with the first letter name '/'
    I have to take off the access (for particulary users) to save as the name begins sign '/' (=no user specific) so that the users can only save layout user-specific
    Moreover I have to delete some incorrect or useless layouts which were saved by users.
    Do you know how can I do it?
    Regard,

  • Layout is it User-specific or Standard ?

    I have an ALV report that contains user specific layout and standard layout. My question is if user enters the layout name in the selection screen . i wanted to know whether the layout is user-specific or standard layout.
    How we can differentiate this ?
    a®

    Layouts can be saved for specific users or for all users.
    User-specific layouts are only visible to the users who have created them.
    Layouts for all users can be selected by all users. These layouts always start with a forward slash in the name (for example,  /Standard).
    The layouts are report-dependent and you can only create, change or delete them within the display of the respective ALV list. User-specific layouts can only be changed or deleted by the user who created them.
    To save layouts for all users, you need the authorization S_ALV_LAYO with activity 23 as of Release 4.6C. You can only go to the layout administration if you have this authorization.
    You must maintain the authorization object S_ALV_LAYO using the user administration.
    If you would like to use or save the Excel view in your layout, you also require the additional authorization S_BDS_DS with activity 01,02,03,06,30; CLASSNAME ALVLAYOUTTEMPLATES and CLASSTYPE OT.
    Furthermore, there are applications that have their own authorization checks installed.
    In some ALV lists, you can only save user-specific layouts. In these cases, the indicator "user-specific" is active , on a grey background and unable to be changed. This is related to the parameter I_SAVE. This controls which options you have to save the layout.
    To be able to define default layouts, the parameter I_DEFAULT must have the value 'X'.
    Notes 409190 and 601803 also provide further information on authorizations.

  • Copy user-specific report layouts (table LTDX)

    Hi,
    We are implementing a "Single Sign On" solution and thus we need to
    copy all the SAP users to adapt their names to "windows user names".
    We copy all the user data and authorizations from SU01 but then we must
    copy too all the other user-dependent things. One of them are user-
    specific report layouts. We can copy the report variants because they
    are not user-dependent but is there any way to copy the user-specific
    layouts (table LTDX) from one user to another? Is there any transaction
    or report for it?
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Jon Larrucea

    Hi,
    Try This Program
    report copy_layout.
    data : lt_ltdx like ltdx occurs 0 with header line.

  • How to set user specific Layout for executing IW38/IW39  report.

    Dear Experts,
    We have 10 users seperatly, For executing IW38/39 transaction they have maintained seperate layouts for executing the reports. While saving layout they have saved the layout as 'user specific' Now some body has chage the settings.
    After changing the setting all are getting same layout.
    Please suggest how to set user specific layout. When user enter the IW38/39 report by default he should get his layout.
    Thanks in advance.

    Create Variant using SHD0 and with Group and assign to particular user's
    Here is the steps
    Creating a Variant Group
    1. Open transaction SHD0, enter the transaction code, and press enter.
    2. Choose the Standard Variants tab page, and then the sub tab page Variant Groups, and enter a group name, such as GROUP_GEN
    3. Choose Create. Enter a short text on the Maintain Variant Group window that appears and save the variant group.
    Assigning Users
    Once you have created the variant group and the relevant transaction variants with screen variants, you now need to assign users to the variant group as follows
    1. Return to the Standard Variants tab page, Variant Groups sub tab page.
    2. Enter the name of a user that you want to assign to this variant group, and choose Assign. A message that this user was successfully assigned to the variant group appears in the status bar. If you choose a where-used list for users, this user is displayed in the user list.
    3. However, for the screen variants of the variant group that you created above to be displayed for the user, you first need to select Set Proposal. The user is assigned to the group and the associated transactions are started with the corresponding variants only once you choose the Set Proposal function.
    You can use this procedure of user assignment for all other users that you want to add to the variant group
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

    Hi ,
    My problem is still not resolved. I tried applying the people picker property and set a specific field(an email id field) to be available to only admins. Now the field is not visible to the normal users but only admins which is good but that email field
    should be able to take normal users as wel as admin's email ID. currently due to the people picker property it only takes admin's ID and not normal user's ID - which is not as per expectation.
    What this email ID field does is - when a normal user is logged in he/she wont see this field in that view. But when an admin logs in he/she can switch to admin view and see this field . The admin can put any user's ID in this field and pull out the required
    resource's Time Report for modification.
    Please let me know how do i overcome my problem. Detailed step description will be very helpfull .
    As per Cameron's suggestion (add a rule on the "additional admin section") , i am not sure how exactly that is done. Would help a lot if i got to know how this works.

  • User specific ALV Layout

    In my ALV report - Go to Settings - Layout - Save. The User-Setting checkbox is grayed out. How do I turn it on.

    Sorry for the late reply probably this git resolved already, but the solution is that this needs some authorization:
      Object Class BC_Z Basis - Central Functions
        Authorization Obj. S_ALV_LAYO ALV Standard Layout
          Authorization Field ACTVT Activity
                                                                                    23
    You can get the info when checking transaction SU53 afteryou see the greyed out "user defined" flag even if the programming for i_save is set to 'X' or 'A'.

Attached screen shot for clarity on the issue. Please share your inputs on from where this tab is controlling?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Jyothi,
    You can create a new standard layout with name starting with /. If user specific check box is grayed out and selected by default, then that user may not have proper authorization to create standard ALV layouts. Please ask your BASIS team to give required authorization.

  • Layout: Deselecht the indicator user-specific

    Hi,
    I would like to save a layout and the only possibility that I have ist user-specific.(the field ist already select
    wenn I call the layout)
    How can I deselect the indicator user specific. All users of the list has to call the layout.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    User specific layout usually starts without "/" ,if you want to make the layout defaul and will be accessible to all users then ,go to change layout ,add "/ " and make the layout as default.You can find layout management option in Select > Layout option,use the layout management to make any layout defualt in system.
    Hope this will resolve your issue.

  • User specific layout in product costing

    Hi gurus,
    I run report KKBC_ORD and set up specific layout.
    I cannot  save the same as global layout. Just as user-specific.

    Hello there,
    There is an indicator in the product cost controlling -> information
    system -> control parameters (OKN0) which allows shared layouts for
    PCP reports. Please check this IMG transaction to see if 'layout visibil
    ity is shared.  If it is shared, then you should be able to save a
