Making a complex authorization check for a specific user

Former Member — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:52:50 GMT

I have implemented an authorization check like this with success:

K_PCA_RESP_AUTHORITY_CHECK

The check is made to see if the actual user has authoriszation to the profitcenter, and the hierarchy is also checked.

This is fine.

My new need is to run the same check in a remote function call, with the user id as a parameter.

User id is not a parameter on the function module K_PCA_RESP_AUTHORITY_CHECK, and I cannot find a similar module with user id as input.

Any ideas of how to fix that problem?

Hi Soeren,

please try to use function module SU_RAUTH_CHECK_FOR_USER.

Thank you Klaus

I allready tried that, but the function module K_PCA_RESP_AUTHORITY_CHECK is more than a authorization check, it searches the profitcenter hierarchy also.

If it was a simple authorization check, your suggestion would be the solution.

Hi Soeren,

just an idea.

SUBMIT report USER user VIA JOB ... AND RETURN.

In this report call fm K_PCA_RESP_AUTHORITY_CHECK in INITIALIZATION and try to pass the result back to your report.

Klaus

Klaus, good idea from you.

I tried it out, and It works for me.

We have to consider if we like the architecture of this, but it works.

Thank you 🙂
