Authorization object usage

pankajs_dwivedi — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 14:17:24 GMT

Hi All,

I have an authorization object with following fields.

ACTVT = 02

WERKS = 1001

RANGE_FROM = 0

RANGE_TO = 999,999.00

I want to validate whether the user enters a value in between these two RANGE_FROM and RANGE_TO. How can i achieve this.

Also is there any way by which i can read the values maintained in the profile of the user for this authorization object. If this is possible then i can read the RANGE_FROM And RANGE_TO and then put a logic to validate.

Please let me know if any of the ways are possible.

Thanks

Hi Pankaj,

This is an example taken from the SAP Documentation:

Here, M_EINF_WRK is the object name, whilst ACTVT andWERKS are authorization fields. For example, a user with theauthorizations

M_EINF_WRK_BERECH1

ACTVT 01-03

WERKS 0001-0003 .

can display and change plants within the Purchasing and MaterialsManagement areas.

Such a user would thus pass the checks

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_EINF_WRK' 
    ID 'WERKS' FIELD '0002' 
    ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'. 

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_EINF_WRK' 
    ID 'WERKS' DUMMY 
    ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '01':

but would fail the check

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_EINF_WRK' 
    ID 'WERKS' FIELD '0005' 
    ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '04'.

Hope it helps.

Gilberto Li

Hi Gilberto,

Thanks for the input. I do have the idea of how authorization works.

My only issue is how can i check for a range of values. Like

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_EINF_WRK'

ID 'WERKS' FIELD '0002'

ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'

ID 'FROM_RANGE >= 1000

ID TO_RANGE <= 1000

Where 1000 is the value entered by user in some cost field and

FROM_RANGE = 0

TO_RANGE = 9999999.

I hope this is clear.

Thanks
