Protect Non user specific variant

HI all,
I want to save a variant available for all users, the problem is that I don't want none apart of me to modify it. I could create a User-Specific variant, but this way I am the only one who will have access to it. I want to create a variant for all users which can oply be modify by me. Do you know if there is a way to do this??
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Jürgen,
This is a very helpful answer, but I am looking for a way without having to use authorizations. The problem is that the other users should also be able to create variants, so this solution is not useful in this case. I need something similar to what we have in the selection variants in which you can protect the variant.
Best Regards.

  • Non user-specific layout in Tx KOC4

    Hi all.
    We´re trying to create a not user specific layout on tx KOC4, but the option "user-specific" is check and grayed out and can't modify it.
    We´re using the standard report.... I search on the forum and on sap notes for a solution, but I can´t find it.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    If you want to be able to create non-user-specific layout from the actual/planned cost report in  you have to flag the field "layout visibility - shared" in transaction OKN0. Then you will see that the user-specific field is no longer greyed out anymore.
    I leave the solution, if anyone needs the help sometime
    Thanks any way!

  • User specific variant (how to )

    Hi gurus,
    i have made one report. in this report we need different layout.
      i have user reuse_alv_grid_display .
      our requirement is we want to create one default layout and other user specific layout.
    so if user doen't have his ownlayout then we want to display default layout otherwise display that user specific layout.
    i am not able to figure it out how it works in this function module.
       call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
           exporting
                i_callback_program          = g_repid
                i_structure_name            = 'ZSDMATATP'
                it_fieldcat                 = zfield
              it_sort                     = sortcat[]
                I_DEFAULT                   = 'X'
                i_save                      = 'U'
                is_variant                  = g_variant
          IMPORTING
              e_exit_caused_by_caller     = exit_caused_by_caller
              es_exit_caused_by_user      = exit_caused_by_user
           tables
                t_outtab                    = display
           exceptions
                program_error               = 1
                others                      = 2.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
                with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
      endif.
    please tell me where i made mistake.
    Thanks,
    Jignesh.

    1. Put one parameter on the screen like:
    PARAMETERS : P_VAR LIKE DISVARIANT-VARIANT obligatory.
    2. Assign the F4 help for that parameter
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_VAR.
    DATA:       W_VARIANT LIKE DISVARIANT.
      CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4'
        EXPORTING
          IS_VARIANT    = W_VARIANT
          I_SAVE        = e_save        "Was 'A'
        IMPORTING
          ES_VARIANT    = W_VARIANT
        EXCEPTIONS
          NOT_FOUND     = 1
          PROGRAM_ERROR = 2
          OTHERS        = 3.
      IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
        P_VAR = W_VARIANT-VARIANT.
      ELSE.
        W_VARIANT-REPORT = SY-REPID.
      ENDIF.
    3. Pass this W_VARIANT to FM
    CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
        EXPORTING
          IS_VARIANT         = W_VARIANT
    By this way, user has to select at least one variant. He can pull down the F4 help for avaliable variants. He can see the default one alongwith his own variants if he has any.

  • How do I get my su password to setup non-user specific cron?

    I have two accounts set up on my mac. I want to use cron to have each user's Documents folder copied to an external drive, regardless of whether any user is logged in.
    I've set up cron jobs within each user account, but they don't run. I'm wondering whether this is due to the jobs being scheduled to run when the user may not be logged in. I'm hoping setting up a crontab entry under su will circumvent this but I can't even remember whether I setup a super user account when installing Tiger.
    Thanks!

    You should not and need not have a root password. Use sudo with an administrator account. (See man sudo)

  • Can "Variants" also become User Specific like "Layouts"?

    Hi Friends,
    As you know we can create user specific or non-user specific (Global) layouts for our reports (Standard or Z Reports).
    My question is that is it possible to create user specific Variants also or variants are by default global and can be used by every user id?
    If we can create user specific variants, how can we do that?
    Regards,
    CK

    Hello CK,
    When you create variants, it will be automatically listed in the list of variants available and yes, as you say, any user can see that in SAP screen, however, user can opt to use or not these variants and it will not automatically be the default value of all SAP users.
    Thanks, hope this helps.

    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.

  • User specific default variant in  a selectio screen

    Is it possible to provide an option to create user specific default variant in a selection screen?
    I have developed a custom report program. Now I want to allow users to choose one of their variants as default variant ?  Please help.

    Hi very Simple and easy solution:
    In SE93 when u are creating the transaction for the program use the option 'Start with variant' and give your own vaiant name for the program start. This will help you in starting your proam always with your default variant.
    Hope That Helps

  • User Specific Display Variants

    Hi
    Were on ECC 6.0 and when I choose to create and save a display variant from and ALV screen the user-specific box is ticked and I can not un-tick it because its grayed out - no matter what we do we can not un-tick this checkbox. We need to create global display variants so that all user can use these display variants.
    Is there a configuration setting that we can adjust ?? any suggestions to overcome this problem are welcome.
