Dear Raju,

Could you further explain which aspect of printing do you want to restrict? Because normally printing access to a particular printer is restricted by object S_SPO_DEV.

For some transactions (normally where printing of documents is involved) Authorization to Activity 04 in certain objects will also control the authorization for printing.

Regards,

You can restrict with this object S_SPO_ACT (Spool: Actions)below mention activity

BASE Visibility

DELE Delete

DISP Display contents

EDIT Change contents (currently only for composite requests)

PRNT Print once

REDI Divert to same printer type

REPR Print several copies

SEND Send to SAPoffice

USER Change owner

You can restrict device name & type under the object S_SPO_DEV(Device authorizations)

You can restrict Restriction on Maximum Number of Pages under this object S_SPO_PAGE(Restriction on Maximum Number of Pages)

Hi Raju,

The system always checks the device authorizations before creating a spool or output request. Users can only create requests if they have an appropriate authorization for the relevant output device.

The system checks device authorizations using the authorization object S_SPO_DEV. You can also specify output quantity with the authorization object S_SPO_PAGE.

For more information about spool authorizations, see SAP Note 119147.

Thanks,

Hi,

In the subject you mention authorization object for "print preview" and in the decription you mention "restricting the print". These two seperate actions and can be controlled by more than one objects. The authorization to print obviously would depend on the objects related to spool as has been mentioned in the earlier replies. But, the print preview can also be done from the application itself. You may need to investigate more on object S_BDS_DS which grants authorization for displaying print preview of documents like a purchase order from tcode ME21n.
