Restrict users from saving own search in existing Named Searches

Hello,
I have created some Named Searches that will be used by the MDM users. These users are only allowed to use these named searches (in their search selections) but they are not allowed to 'overwrite' any of the named searches by their own search criteria.
How can I prevent the user from 'overwriting' the Named Searches?
Because even when I set the user role to "None" for all functions and "Read-Only" for all tables and fields, the user can still make their own search and Save that as Named Search (and thus 'overwriting' the existing Named Search which impacts also the other users that make use of these Named Searches).
We are using MDM 5.5 SP5 (5.5.42.106).
Or is this an autorisation bug in MDM?
Thanks for your answers!
Regards,
Marcel

All,
Just for your information:
We have upgraded to MDM 5.5 SP06 Patch 3 (build 5.5.63.57) and they have introduced new role feature to protect named searched to be overwritten (see also release notes of patch 3 - OSS Note 1234675).
So you can now change the Role (in MDM Console) and under section MDM Data Manager, you can set None or Execute for the function of Saving a Named Search.
If you set it to None, then the menu option in the MDM Data Manager of saving an search as a Named Search (and hence overwriting the named search) is greyed out. Only when you set it to Execute (which is automatically set during upgrade to thi snew version when the role has set it's Default function to Execute), then the user can overwrite the named search with his own search.
So, issue solved!
Regards,
Marcel

Restrict Users from saving files on Local PC but forced to Network Shared Location

Hi,
We have the Domain in Windows 2003 Standard.
How can I restrict users from saving files in their Local PC?
Also, need to forced them to save the files in Network Location with permissions...
Thanks.

Hi,
You can create a file screen to prevent users from saving files on a certain volume. File screens are used to block specific types of files from being saved on a volume or in a folder tree. A file screen affects all folders in the designated path. You need
to update the server to Windows Server 2003 R2 to install the File Server Resource Manager.

How to restrict users from saving a transaction in PCUI

Hi Experts,
I am working on a requirement where in I have to restrict the user from saving a followup up transaction if an order already exists for the same,in PCUI.I am able to display the error message in the PCUI screen but unable to restrict the user from saving the transaction.
I have implemented the CRM_COPY_BADI ,copy method to check the item copy and populating the message from there...The requirement is fulfilled in GUI by giving a abandon message which restricts the user from saving the transaction.but in PCUI the abandon message is not working..So is there any way to deactivate the save button for a particular transaction in PCUI and this is to be done from within the CRM_COPY_BADI..
I would sincerely appreciate any help provided on the issue..

We can do this by populating an error message in the Application log

Restrict users from editing and deleting not owned items

Hello guys.
I'm trying to restrict users from editing and deleting items created by other users. I know, that it can be achieved by using SPList.WriteSecurity parameter, but if I change its value to 2 or 4 - nothing happens...
May be there are some list permissions that can override this security setting? I tried to combine permissions in different ways but users either cannot modify any items or can edit/delete all of them...
By the way, setting ReadSecurity=2 works as it should work regardless of user permissions...
Please help.

Hi,
I understand that you want to change the write security for the document library. You can try the PowerShell script below:
$web = Get-SPWeb http://serverURL
$list = $web.Lists["Document library"]
$list.ReadSecurity = 2
$list.WriteSecurity =2
$list.Update()
$web.Dispose()
This setting will not affect the site collection administrator, he will always be able to edit the documents. You need to sue another account to have a test. If this still doesn't work, I think you need to manually edit the permission for each documents.
Thanks,

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

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.

Need to restrict users from adding or modifying folders or reports

Requirement: Need to restrict users from adding or modifying folders or reports through Info view and to reflect the modifications only thriough LCM.
Issue: Customer wants to restrict users from adding or modifying existing reports from Infoview and need to force users to do make the changes through Life cycle manager tool.
As per my understanding LCM can only be used to to promote folders and objects from one environment to another and to schedule the promotion of these jobs on a daily basis.My query is:
Can we add or modify existing reports or folders using the LCM tool?
Could you please help me out in this issue and provide me your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Prashanthi Rayaprolu.

You can not restrict that using LCM. Need to modify the rights at the folder level.
Explicitly remove the following rights for the user group,
Add objects to the folder
Edit objects
Delete objects
Copy objects to another folder (check this if required)
Once the above four are denied then users wont be able to Edit/Add/Delete reports in that folder.

Restricting User from creating new records using when-validate-record

Hi,
I have a requirement for which I have to restrict he user from creating a record in the Supplier Master form if the suppliier type is 'Affiliate Supplier'.
I have done the following setups
Seq 10
Description Restricting user from creating Affiliate records
Level Function
Enabled Yes
Condition:
Trigger Event WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
Trigger object VNDR

This is working good on one instance but when I moved it to another instance
when I query the form and try to navigate to the bank accounts tab of the form which is based on a differnt block i.e VNDR_USES block, the when-validate-record trigger fires there also and stops the processing.
Any suggestions on this would be higly appriciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Srini,
Yes, it does work...but in a Form Session if i Create more then one Item, in some cases it fires for the first records and not sleeps for the second.
Sometimes it doesn't give any response.
Appreciated if you divert to the link to check the Pacthes for 11.5.10 on Form Personalization.
Please share any ideas/example if yiou have to achieve the below requirement.
Requirement:
Once New record is created , a Custom Procedure should be invoked.
with out closing Form i am able to create n number of Items, so for every Item it should invoke Custom PLSQL Code on Save.
Let me know if i can achieve the same in Custom.pll .....as i can use either of Options.(Form Personalization/Custom.pll)
Thanks & regards,

Restricting users from removing EFB paramter

Dear all,
We have defined user parameter EFB in OMET to ensure users have reference documents when creating a PO. This EFB parameter is then added to the user profile via SU3's parameter tab.
However, all users have access to SU3 to define their own set of parameters. With that, we run into the risk of users removing the assigned EFB parameter themselves, thus allowing creation of PO without reference.
Is there anyway that we can restrict users from removing this parameter or are there any alternatives?
Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry, but there´s no option to prevent the change if the user parameters.
I could find the answer from a developer:
"the maintenance of PIDs is designed without any authorization check. The background is that every user should have the possibility to fit his/her own PIDs for daily work.".

Restricting user from changing price in me22n after goods receipt

i want to restrict the users from changing the price of the material in me22n after after goods receipt.
pls tell me the userexit for it with detail.

Okay, then let me play the role of the bad man.
Why would you need to restrict users from changing a price after GR ?
Do you think that users are changing prices just for fun or to mess up the system?
Have you talked to users why they want change the price after a GR?
do you have an alternative plan, for the case that the price really needs to be changed to be able to post the invoice? do you want to cancel always the GR in this case? Is is possible? What if the stock is already issued? do you then want to cancel the entire chain? what if a month end closure was already done?

Can we prevent the user from saving the document?

Hi All,
I want to know that can we prevent the user from saving an illustrator doc till a condition match.
if we can, then how?
Please comment.
Thanks

You can't prevent it, no. You could continually set the document modified flag to false, which would prevent regular 'Save', but they could always do 'Save As' -- nothing can stop that.

Restrict users from archiving PST to local computer

Hi all,
I would like to restrict users from archiving emails in outlook to the local computer. We have a serious problem that users are archiving emails to the local computer and then they can copy those emails to external devices or that they can attach this local
pst file to their personal outlook profile which they can forward it to external recipients. We have ran into a serious problem now and I am try to resolve this problem by restricting users to archive the emails to their local computer. Is there any way I
can do this?
Only designated users should be able to archive the outlook emails (from the support team) and they can save it to a central file server.
Please share me your thoughts. Thank you all for taking time to read this and for your suggestions.

Hi Friend,
Use Group Policy Feature and enable the “DisablePST” Reg value as it will not allow users to create new PST file or even remove the Archive function from their Outlook interface.
Registry path to disable PST File authentication (Group policy):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook
Take a brief explanation about various restrictions over PST File:

Restrict users from using Manual series

Hi SAP,
Is there a way to restrict users from using the Manual series?
Thanks,
Janice

Hi Rahul,
Ok, i have seen already the authorization for document manual numbering and it is available only for 8.8 versions and not on 2007 version of SAP.
Anyway, when im doing the testing i found out that for banking transactions like incoming, user can still use the manual series even if he has no authorization for manual document numbering.
Another concern from our client was the use of manual series only, is it also possible in SAP? I tried to give user authorization in the manual document numbering and no authorization to series group no but user cannot already open the transaction window. Let us know if their inquiry is possible so i could inform them that only manual series can be restricted.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Janice

Restrict users from changing roles

Is there a way to restrict users from changing roles
themselves? If a user goes to My Connections and then clicks Edit,
they could, in theory, change to any group they want--except to the
administrator group because you have to enter a password. If the
admin isn't watching the site 24/7, the user can change their roll,
let's say from a writer to a publisher, and publish something
before the admin can notice.
Is there anything that can be done to restrict that?

You can use connection keys...this will only allow a user to
change their name and email address (I think...I can check on this
tomorrow). We use these at my work and it allows for a lot more
control over who is assigned to the proper groups.

Restrict users from input

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to restrict users from sending data through input schedules ?
My requirement is to lock the weeks as we go . for example if data has already been sent in week1 no one should be able to modify it through input schedules.
other weeks should be open for sending data. The weeks that have passed need this restriction.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Is their any way to restrict user from overriding the graphs in SAP APO?

Dear All,
As we know, we can copy the graphs to other users using /n/sapapo/sdp_graph. But is their any way to restrict user from overriding the graph to particular user.
Scenarios:
In a project we have super user and semi-super user, whenever super user uses above t-code to copy graph to all users (he has included semi-super user id to target user list) but semi-super user does not want to override his graph by super user.
Do we have such function in APO to restrict?
Hope it is clear to understand.
Regards,
Pravin Tikar

Hi Amol,
thanks,
I have checked SP Note 400434 - Authorizations in APO demand planning Also.
Will check the authorization and will update the same.
