Authorisation on reports

Former Member — Wed, 05 Oct 2005 07:06:50 GMT

Hi All,

Could any one give me a suggestion on the following issue,

i have a requirement that i want to provide user autorisation on every single report,

That means a report can be viewed by an Authorised person in production system but at Presentation server all the available reports are made visible.

Thanks and Regards,

Azee.

search the help function for keyword CHECK AUTHORITY ir use logical databases, the latter is taking authorisations automatically in effect.

Hi,

If you want users to be authorized to execute reports with SA38, than you should use authorization object <b>S_PROGRAM</b>. You can limit authorizations for certain report groups. The Report group is a field from the program attributes. If it is not maintained, you can do it for customer reports.

If you want users to be authorized for certain transactions, then you can use the authorization object <b>S_TCODE</b>.

Hi Azee,

You can use the command AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT in all the program where you want control. Please check the documentation of this.

Cheers

Hi,

in actvt maintain new field value.

create your own auth object under new auth class.

and for you requirement that you want it to be visible at presetation server, add one more if condition , to check which system it is. if prod , then do auth-check else .....

In production reports will be run using transactions right. For a transaction code you can assign an Authorisation Object.So a user having this authorisation object will only be able to run this transaction and hence view the report.
