Authorization

Former Member — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 20:10:29 GMT

Hello Friends,

I have developed a screen Program in SE51.

I have couple of push buttons and every button calles a report program.

However all the push buttons should be authorized for all users. Is there a way I can activate push buttons based on the user name.

say for example,

there are 2 push buttons,

Button1, Button 2.

Button1 should not be permitted for User2 and so on.

Any suggestions.

Ster

If the push buttons are in the screen you can hide them in the following way:

1.Write a module in PBO to check the authorization.

2.If the authorization fails then set the flag.


  LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-name = 'BUTTON1' AND flag = 'X'.
      screen-active = '0'."'space'.
    ENDIF.
    MODIFY SCREEN.
  ENDLOOP.

the button will be hidden.

Hide them only?

What if the user knows the function code?

You can assign authorizations for the report, and in the PBO check whether the user is having authorizations for all the reports using Authority object.

Based on that, you can loop and modify the screen

You can give another authorization check at PAI.
