S-WFAR_OBJ

Question

Hi Experts, i was wandering if someone could ease some concerns i have. I am looking at implementing an authority check in an abap programme. That does a check on a value in the Auth Obj S_WFAR_OBJ. the soloution i am trying to put in place is all based around SAP Archiving and the logical archive defined in the system. The auth check with basically look in here and if thwe users role contains a value of HR will only show docs archived from the HR logical archive.
We seem to have this auth object in a number of our roles, but with a star value proposed. Is this object used for anything other than SAP archving?? As from what i have read it is not used for anything else other than this purpose and su24 seems to tell me its not either. If i get some kind of re-assurance that it is not i can cut my testing window down by half, as for some un known reason we seem to have this object in all of our finance type roles.
Thank you in adcance

Hi thanks for this,
perhaps i coudl explain what i am doing a little better. We are using IXOS as our scan client and have the barcode soloution set up for HR attachemtns and Finance attachemtns.
When users enter the barcode against a record either HR or Fi. It goes into the BDS_BAR_IN table awaiting a document to be scanned with the same barcode on it.
This goes into the table bds_bar_ex viewed by the trx SBDS3. What we are finidng is people not doing this process properly and documents are left in this table are completley visable to anyone who has this trx access.
Our HR dept have kicked up a stink that a finance person can see say a formal procedure doc that has been left in the q.
I have tried to argue the case that if they checked after every scan then there would be no problem. But they are determined they want something put in place.
So i have come up with a soloution of creating. Differnt logical archives for HR,Fiance and a few other depts. Then create a z programme of SBDS3 and adding an input filed asking which dept they are. So a HR person would scan into the system using the HR Logical archive and the finance person would scan in using the FI logical archive(names are irrelavnt but just to make explanation easier)
When they come to do there checks they would enter in the input field either HR or FI, this would then do an auth check on s_wfar_obj to see what value there role has in and if they are allowed to see HR or Fi docs.
I can see no other purpose for this other than archiving docs be it HR or FI, and just needed a bit more clarification on where it is used.
