Attributes and authorization group for reports/programs

Former Member — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:51:23 GMT

Hello,

Is it possible to assign an authorization group for a report/program even if I am not an abap developer? Namely, I know that there is an option within se38 -> Attributes -> Change, but this is only possible with an access key for developer. Furthermore, if I get an access key, and if I add an authorization group for one report, which addtional settings do I have to make, for example, do I have to define this authorization group in some tables also?

Hi,

yes. you can include an authorisation group in a program through SE38 transaction. Go to change mode and select the attributes menu from Goto menu option. But if you want this report / program to be executed by more than one authorisation group, then you won't be able to do this way. Go through Role Maintenance option.

Don't do this for SAP standard program. Do it through Role Maintenance option.

Thanks

Ramesh

Hello,

You need to have an developer key. And after define an authorization group to a program, you need to add the authorization group to the users that will have access to the report in transaction PFCG .

You can get some help about transaction PFCG in this guide [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a92195a9-0b01-0010-909c-f330ea4a585c].

Regards.
