Restricting P_ORGIN checks to the current state of an employee

Hello everyone,
as part of our authorization concept, we are using the field PERSG in authorization object P_ORGIN (and P_ORGINCON) to determine whether a user has access to the infotypes of a given employee.
In the current example, the user may access employees with a personnel group (PERSG) '1' - '9', but not 'M', because our PERSG 'M' stands for 'manager', so his P_ORGIN and P_ORGINCON are restricted to PERSG BETWEEN '1' AND '9'. Basically, this works nicely.
However, there are cases in which an employee is promoted to manager level. His former PERSG in infotype 0001 is '1', but beginning from a certain date, his PERSG changes to 'M'. The autorization system now lets the user still see the former periods of time of this employee during which his PERSG was still '1', even though now he is 'M'. I understand that this is correct system behavior as SAP designed it. However, in our case it is undesired by the management. Once an employee has been promoted to PERSG 'M', none of his infotype periods should be visible to any user who does not have the 'M' authorization level.
Is there a way to achieve this?

Hello Eva,
thank you very much, that appears to be the right track already. Trouble is, HRPAD00AUTH_TIME is very poorly documented. It has two methods "CONSIDER_SY_DATUM_EXIT" and "BEGDA_ENDDA_COMPARE_EXIT" which have documentations of their own.
The documentation of CONSIDER_SY_DATUM_EXIT says that this method is only applicable if T528A-VALDT is set to 'X'. However, the whole table T528A does not even exist in our system?! (7.40)
Documentation of BEGDA_ENDDA_COMPARE_EXIT leaves me pretty clueless how to interpret the IMPORTING parameters. I would have expected to be able to set the new time for which the system shall check the authorization. However, the only available export parameters allow me to set whether authorization is given or not, overriding the standard coding. So it seems that with this method I am not changing the time period for the check, but overriding the whole authorization process altogether?!
My other hope was note 570161, but the BADI HRPAD00CHECK_TIME which is referred to there does not seem to exist in our release anymore, so I assume it is obsolete.
Do you happen to know anything more about the BADI that would make its usage for my purpose more transparent?

  • Error occurred in deployment step 'Add Solution': Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object

    hi,
      when i was trying to deploy a SP  solution from my vs 2012 solution. this error  is displayed.
    i tried many things like
    1) get the wsp and apply power shell cmds to add and deploy, here also it failed:
    Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath d:\mywsp.wsp
    Install-SPSolution mywsp.wsp -GacDeployment -AllWebApplications -Local
    2) restart the timer services and  do  iisreset and  reboot the server. etc .as mentioned in one of the  the below  blogs:

    but even after doing all these steps, the  error still persists!. and am not deploying into a remote server, the dev env is in a VM, where sp 2013, vs 2012, sql 2012  are installed.
    just wanna share one  note:   there is a isue in my search admin component. index was reset due to some reason. and from that time onwards my search full/incremental crawls were not working!
    will this cause an issue in my wsp deployment ? i hope  it wont, still  asking...
    can anyone help me how to resolve this error.because this is a  show stopper for me for the last few days!
    help is highly appreciated!

    This issue cause because of feature activation failure while WSP deployment.
    when you create a WSP using visual studio, it creates WSP package with default deployment configuration settings.
    Please restrict feature activation configuration, this will help you to troubleshoot this issue.
    - Click on Project in WSP and press F4, it will open "Project Properties"
    - set "Active deployment Configuration" - as "No Activation"
    - you can activate this features in required sequence after deployment using Activate-SPFeature

  • The update operation is not allowed in the current state of the request

    When users have logged a request through the service manager 2012 portal and they go back in to add user input they sometimes receive a message that says " The update operation is not allowed in the current state of the request." The state of the
    request has not changed it is still Active and has not breached its service level .
    I can't seem to find any information about this error and don't know how to troubleshoot it. Any help and advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sarah

    ok, so they're adding user comments after creating the service request. looks like this:
    the first thing to check is that the user is added to the default, un-scoped "End User" security role, or the custom end user security role they are added to has a scope that includes all work items. The "user input" field adds a user comment related
    to the SR, so the ability to create user comments is required to use this field.

  • A better way to determine the current state of the FLVPlayback component?

    Below is the AS3 code I have used to display images (MCs) over an instance of the FLVPlayback component.  These images (one for loading, one for the title) are to appear – or disappear – according to the current state of the FLVPlayback component. 
    It “works,” but when testing, I have noticed that it can be rather finicky.  The most common issue that arises is that many times the loadPoster movieclip will still be visible even though the video has entered the playing state.
    Also, I wanted a title placeholder image to appear whenever the user stops the video or if the video completes.  However, I had to add the conditional statement to the “stoppedStateEntered” case to make everything appear when expected.  When the video is first viewed (and has completed buffering), it seems that the FLVPlayback component enters the stopped state before entering the playing state.  Thus, the titlePoster would flash on the screen right before it and the loadPoster “should” disappear when the video begins playing.
    Even in my limited testing, these issues were very easily re-created.  I am definitely looking for a more reliable solution.  Is there a better (or more correct) way to go about all this?  If possible, I would like to stick with the FLVPlayback component, just for the simple fact of not having to code my own.
    Where am I going wrong?
    function updateMoviePoster(event:VideoEvent):void
                    switch (event.type)
                                    case "playingStateEntered":
                                                    loadPoster.visible = false;
                                                    titlePoster.visible = false;
                                    break;
                                    case "stoppedStateEntered":
                                                    if (loadPoster.visible == false)
                                                                    titlePoster.visible = true;
                                    break;
                                    case "complete":
                                                    titlePoster.visible = true;
                                    break;
    myFLVPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, updateMoviePoster);
    myFLVPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STOPPED_STATE_ENTERED, updateMoviePoster);
    myFLVPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, updateMoviePoster);

    Any suggestions?  I would truly appreciate the help.

    Hotfixes are special, out-of-band patches created to fix specific problems, so they are never published to Windows Update.  Often the hotfix gets incorporated into a released patch that is published on Windows Update.  If this hotfix was incorporated
    into a released patch, and you applied that patch to your system, the hotfix would see that its files are older than the latest files on the system and would give you this message.  Because the hotfix is not for general distribution, there is rarely documentation
    saying that it has been superceded.
    Generally there is a file list with a hotfix/patch that gives you the version number of the affected files.  You can go through those files to see that you have the latest files.  The problem is finding the actual patch that updated those files. 
    Without going through lots of patches, it is hard to find which patch made the hotfix obsolete.

  • Error_27_Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

    I created a SharePoint 2013 farm solution project in Visual Studio 2013 (running on the same machine where SharePoint 2013 server is running) with
    event receiver.  I added web.config at project root level to store connection string (I'm working off external SQL DB) and got the following error during deployement:
    Error 27
    Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
    When I commented out the ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnectionString"].ConnectionString; the error went away.  Am I missing something or not supposed to add my own App.config to SharePoint project solution? 

    Hi,
    From your description, you might want to store your connection string in web.config and there is an error during deployment.
    It is recommended to store the configuration data of SharePoint solution in either property bags or hierarchical object store.
    The links below will provide more information about this:

    Using a checkbox in numbers- if,then, I want to display today's date if checked, and keep that date, the day it was checked, not the current day

    this will not work.  Numbers does not provide a timestamp.  you can, however, enter the formula "=now()" in any cell, then copy that same cell, then paste (using the command "Edit > Paste Formula Results"
    If you need a time stamp often,

  • How to find the current state in web dynpro

    Hi,
       Can any one tell me how to find the current state of system (idle /not idle).
    Thanks,
    Krishna..

    Please explain further.  I don't understand how you are expecting to test for idle.  If ABAP code is being executed, then you know that the application is not idle. Only a server event could trigger code execution. Only a timedTrigger would be able to tell you that a certain amount of time has passed without activitity - although the event of the timer itself will be a server event that constitutes activity.

  • "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object" error when trying to create a link for a shared folder in OneDrive

    I'm trying to share a folder in OneDrive with another user in my organization, and create a link so that people outside of the company can see the folder. Whenever I try to create a link I get an error that says: "Couldn't create the link sorry something
    went wrong operation is not valid due to the current state of the object" How do I resolve this?

  • I cannot find the "agree" button to check on the policy statement when I want to download an app.  Where is it?

    Where to I find the 'agree' button to check on the Apple policy statement when I wish to purchase an app?

    Does the Home button work for other functions?
    Home button not working or unresponsive, fix
    http://appletoolbox.com/2013/04/home-button-not-working-or-unresponsive-fix/
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • Restricting document check in the contribution folder

    Hi,
    We are using UCM 11g.We have created sub folders in the contribution folder.We have a requirement in which we want the user to do check in of documents only in the sub folders of the contribution folder and not in the root folder i.e. contribution folder.
    So can we restrict the user from doing document check in into the sub folders of the contribution folder and not the contribution folder itself?

    You could write a custom Java filter that hooks into "validateStandard" and if the dCollectionID matches the root, throw a ServiceException.
    The Definitive Guide to Stellent Content Server Development by Bex Huff and the How To components would be good starting points to learn how to write a custom Java filter.

  • Contributing Packages - The Current State

    There has been some confusion going around when contributing packages.  A lot of changes are going on now with the new TUR system, the AUR.  The new AUR will have a nice systematic way of submitting packages.  But currently, there are two ways to submit packages.
    1)  Post a PKGBUILD and build scripts of the New and Requested Packages category of the forum.  TURs and developers will look through these PKGBUILDs and pick up any that look interesting to them, and put them in a repository.
    2)  Send a PKGBUILD to the tur-mailing list (http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/tur-users/).  All the TURs will definately see your PKGBUILD if you post it on the mailing list.  Many TURs prefer new packages on the list, because they will definately see it.  Some TURs don't look at the forum as much as others. 
    To be on the safe side, you can do both.
    Here are some dont's:
    1)  DONT submit packages to incoming.  No one looks at incoming.  Incoming is dead.  Incoming is from the old package submittal submission system, which is now being replaced with the AUR.
    2)  DONT submit packages without PKGBUILD scripts.  No one wants a package from an untrusted source that could contain malicious code.
    3)  DONT forget to include all files in your submission: .install files, PKGBUILDs, startup scripts, etc.
    4)  DONT put patchfiles up on the forum:  the forum will mess up the formatting of the patch.  Upload the patch somewhere and post a link.
    5)  DONT use namcap as your only resource for dependencies.  Check ./configure --help, README, INSTALL, and the website of the program.  Namcap is a guide, don't use it as truth.
    6)  DONT use the license field yet.  A standard hasn't been decided of what to put there yet, so don't use it yet.
    7)  DONT add a maintainer comment to your PKGBUILD unless you have a repository and you maintain it.  Put a contributor comment instead. 
    There we go:  If everyone reads these, that will cut down on 90% of the submissions we have to fix    :twisted:

    Could you transfer that message over into my sticky thread of "finding and creating new packages". I think this fits well with that.

Maybe you are looking for
