Creating a custom authorization object. Please help!

Former Member — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 09:10:17 GMT

Hi Experts,

I have a ABAP report. I am querying a custom table "YPROG_STATUS" in this report. Now as per security requirement I want to restrict this report for execution. Only those users who have change access to the custom table "YPROG_STATUS" can run the report.

1. To accomplish this how shall I configure and use my new custom authorization object "YPROG_AUTH".

2. Apart from ACTVT field what shall I enter under the "Authorization fields" section while creating a authorization object via SU21 transaction?

3. Do I have to include this authrorization object in my custom table?

4. How do I use the authorization check in my ABAP code?

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'YPROG_AUTH'

ID ? FIELD ?

ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '03'.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE E000.

ENDIF.

Please help!!!!

Thanks & Regards

Gopal

Hallo Gopal,

if you only want to restrict the access to this report, you can build up an own transaction for this report (transaction code: SE93). After this, the users only needs the authorization object S_TCODE with the value of your new transaction to run the report. This is an easy way. No further coding in the ABAP report is necessary.
