here for each and every user there is authority option is there

in which u can spicify authority for access.

when in standard programming first of all authority is checked

if at that time if the person is not allowed he will not have that much access to it.

Hi Nilay,

you can see whether a table has been assigned authorization group by:

se11~~>table name~~-> utilities---->assign authorization group

please reward if the information is useful .

Hi Nilay,

You just open the table which you wanted to use and try to change something in that particular table if it promts for 'Access key' to change something, then that table is authorised else not :).

All the best.

Thankyou,

Regards.

Hi nilay,

1. If you are talking about reading those tables

using select query in our z program, then yes,

we can read such tables. There is no authorisation concept

for such usage.

2. However, we are not allowed to update any standard sap table. It is not recommended by sap.

3. If you are talking about authorisation,

then it is at the authorisation object level - and not at table level.

The syntax for it is AUTHORITY-CHECK .
