Extract authorization values

Former Member — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 09:31:55 GMT

Hi,

Is there a way to extract specific authorization values for a particular user?

In SUIM, using "Users by Complex Selection Criteria" will display all the authorization & values. You then need to find that particular authorization, say "P_ORGIN" and go through each one of them to find the values assigned. It is very tedious if the user have a lot of the "P_ORGIN" authorization assigned.

I think in this case, SUIM is not the best way.

Is there a way to quickly zoom into and look at all the values in just that particular authorization, in this case, "P_ORGIN"?

Thanks

Dear Sisab,

Maybe you can use SUIM in the following way,

Users by Complex Selection Criteria,

1. Choose the particular User ID,

2. Type the authorization object 'P_ORGIN' in 'Selection by values',

3. Click 'Entry values', the relevant fields in P_ORGIN will be shown,

4. Type the value corresponding to your requirement.

Hope this can help you .

Best Regards!

If your focus is on HR authroizations one of the ways :

SE16 - table name AGR_USERS

The technical name will provide the assignment coming from organizational management.

Take just those roles :

use SE16 - AGR_1251

Which will give you an output export to excel filter on P_origin.

If you are not using Organizational management:

Then use SE16 - AGR_1251 find roles having P-origin

get the role list and use AGR_USERS to find role to user relationship.

What about SU56? It's easy to find a node corresponding to particular authorization object and then see all values from all profiles.

I thought this will be helpful if its one user?

what if we have many users? have multiple objects "P_orgin"

Yes, it works only for one user but he mentioned that he wants to see authorization values for "for a particular user".
