Transaction Codes

Is there a function that I can invoke from within my ABAP

program to determine if the logged in user has permission

to execute a transaction?

For example,

call 'functionA'

exporting tcode = 'ME51N'.

Hi,

Try these...

1)Try calling the transaction and catching the exception if there is no authorization.

2)There is a function module to find the program name and screen for a transaction and vice-versa... RPY_TRANSACTION_READ

using authorization check find if user has permission to run the same.

3) Try these fm...

SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM "This is only for external programs... try if it works!

GET_AUTH_VALUES

Naveenan.

Hi,

AUTHORITY – CHECK OBJECT <object name>

ID <name1> FIELD <f1>

ID <name2> FIELD <f2>

…

IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.

The AUTHORITY-CHECK checks whether a user has the appropriate authorization to execute a particular activity.

Simplest way is the AUTHORITY-CHECK ABAP staatement.

For transaction code ME51N:

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TCODE'
         ID 'TCD' FIELD 'ME51N'.

In SE38 the "Pattern" button includes this statement - you just need to know the Auth Object and it will paste in the correct code.
