Authorization query

Former Member — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 06:55:35 GMT

Hi All,

I have a role zexample which has many users assigned to it.

But i want to give a transaction to a specific user in that role. Is there any way that i can give the tcode to that user without creating a new role??

I'm sorry there's nothing more to say about that There's no way to restrict within roles.

hi,

afaik, it can't be done.

simply create he new role or copy from another one, and assign it to specific user.

There is a coding technique which can be used, and in some special cases it is justified to ensure that a specific user only can run the code (though this is debatable) and in some cases that specific users cannot be used to run the code, regardless of the role.

However such techniques create overhead of maintenance of the code or tables used by the code.

I would recommend avoiding them, in favour of an authorization object which has a field which can control whether a use can or cannot use that transaction, or a feature of it.

Kind regards,

Julius
