Field Security on a Table

Former Member — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 16:54:12 GMT

Is there a way to not allow a specific field(s) on a table to display? For example, on table LFA1 I would not want field ORT02 to be display via SE16/SE17. The remaining field on the table would be fine to display.

Any help would be appreciated,

Stanley,

S_TABU_LIN can be used to restrict specific rows within certain tables.

However to restrict a specific field your best option may be to create a custom view of the table without field ORT02. The view can be restricted with S_TABU_DIS in the same manner as a table.

Cheers,

Ben

By using Organizational criteria, it is possible to restrict the users to specific fields in a table. Using S_TABU_LIN which has org criteria(such as country/plant) and activity (either 02/03) u can restrict the field access.

There are only 8 attributes for org criteria, each attribute for a certain table key field.

Thanks

Hi Stanley,

You can restrict access to parts of a table by business organizational units using the Line-oriented authorizations S_TABU_LIN.One possible use for line-oriented authorizations would be that a user can only display and change the contents of a particular work area, e.g. a country or plant, in a table.

But better thing woud to crate a VIEW/INFOSET QUERY to restrict the ORT02 field.

Hope it helps.

Please award points if it is useful.

Thanks & Regards,
