why multiple profiles per authorization obj. in pfcg

Hi,

In PFCG for a specified role, you can display authorizations. In this screen, you can add authorization objects and modify them. My question is, for some authorization objects, for example C_PRPS_ART, there can be multiple profiles, each showing the same thing. i.e. for *, allow 'change and display'.

What is the reason for this? Also if one profile allowed only '02 - display' and a second profile allowed 'all values', the second profile would overwrite the first?

Thanks for clearing this up,

Hi (Sorry I just can't bring myself to call you your ID - a real name would be nice)

Looking at your other postings you appear to have an FI background? The reason for multiple auth objects is due to SU24 or manually added objects (generalism) - they may or may not be doing different things depending on the clarity of the S&A documentation.

If the same objects are supporting different transactions and they have been set to check/maintain in SU24 then these are included in the role you are investigating. I noticed that you mentioned adding an object in another thread but it wasn't clear how you did this - please colud you confirm if you are using SU24 or using SU53's'on the fly'?

Cheers

David

Actually those are multiple authorization instances per object of the same role. Profiles don't count for mzch anymore and manually naming them is a sign of not having read the docs

As indicated by David, the status and type of the authorization is more important but also does not really count in number.

That they are repeatedly correct is important --> SU24.

Cheers,

Julius
