Difference between * and ALL field values?

Former Member — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 00:00:06 GMT

Greetings to all,

Here is an intresting question. For a particular authorization object of a role, I see that it has a field value of ALL for a specific field. Is this same as * or is there any subtle difference between the two. This is in ECC 5.0.I would greatly appreciate a discussion. Thanks.

Hello Sridhar,

There can be a difference.* means all possible values while ALL means only the value ALL. * will work in case of all authorization checks but ALL will not if it is typed in explictily.

Which authorization object are you talking about and how was the value given.

Regards.

i have also seen the value ALL in some roles in my org...

Object:C_PRPS_USR (PS: Model for User Field Authorization for WBS elements)

Field:USR10_1 (User field with 10 characters)

Value: ALL

If ALL means value ALL then what is the significance of it in the above field?

Pls throw some light...

thankx

Sachin

ALL means all like Change, display, etc.

* means all like 01,02,03 etc.
