Authorization S_RFC for function group PWP2

Former Member — Fri, 09 Jun 2006 09:14:29 GMT

Hi all,

I am currently working on 'Adapting Roles from ABAP based systems to Enterprise Portal'.

In the documentation,one of the prerequisites were mentioned as

'Authorizations in the backend system: In the backend system, you need the authorization S_RFC for function group PWP2.'

Can anyone explain what does this line mean?

(I am new to ABAP world!)

Thanks in advance

Hi swarna,

1. It means that

the user should have

authorisation for the object S_RFC

2. Moreover, apart from this authorisation,

inside this S_RFC itself,

he should have rights for the function group

PWP2

3. So that he can execute the FM

inside this group,

thru RFC concept.

regards,

amit m.

Hi,

Authorization concept is based on role and profile.

Transaction PFCG allows you to create role. In this role, you have authorization object (such as S_RFC) accepting different.

S_RFC has 3 fields:

- activity (specify *)

- RFC name (specify PWP2)

- RFC type (specify FUGR for Function Group)

You can find profiles to rely upon with transaction SUIM.

Best regards,

Guillaume

Hi swarna,

1. S_RFC is not present under the authorization object node.

PFCG is the tcode.

2. Please ask basis team,

they will use the PFCG tcode,

and assign this authorisation object,

to a role (which is already there in your user profile)

Hi again,

1. Yes, u will be able to do it.

2. just make sure of one more thing,

a) inside the role

b) inside the object S_RFC

c) there will be one more field for

Function Group

(in that field, basis will give the

name of the function group)

3. Moreover, if u want to check and verify,

use

AUTHORITY-CHECK statement (see F1 help on it)

to make sure about it.

regards,

amit m.
