AUTHORIZATION RESTRICTION

Former Member — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 06:35:26 GMT

Hi Pals,

I was trying to give the authorization to a user for lock/Unlock the transactions [SM01] through the object S_ADMI_FCD with the value TLCK.

if i do the same user is getting authorization to LOCK/UNLOCK for all the transactions available in the system.

but i want to restrict it to specific transactions only.

is there any other object to restrict??????????????

Hello Krishna,

There is no authorization object using which we can restrict SM01 for locking only certain transactions.

Hi,

You can group them into 2 groups: SM01 itself, and, all the rest.

Locking a transaction is seldomly a formidable hurdle to prevent use of a transaction. It can also cause problems for the system in some cases.

Cheers,

Julius

Hi,

there is no authorization to lock a transaction. and it is better to revoke the access of this to the user.

Hi,

SM01 is usefull if you have made your own transaction to use instead of the standard SAP transaction, otherwise I never excluded an transaction. If you take care of the fact that no * is in authorization object s_tcode you only can do the transactions you are allowed to do.

Have fun

go to tx LSMW and make a batch-input recording of SM01 and the special transaction you want the user to be able to lock. do a bit of developing (no abap needed) and authorize the user to play this special batch-input (actually you would need two of them; one for locking, one for unlocking).
