Authority Check for programs in batch mode.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a requirement in which I am suppose to check if user is an authorized user to run the program.

The two possible ways would be :

1. Authority check based on tcode.

2. Authoirty check based on authorization groups.

Due to some business rules constraints the second option is not possible, now a user may run a program in background the authorization check will fail since now the tcode will be SM36 and user may be authorized to do so.

Any ideas or suggestions would be a great help.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi dipesh,

1. If it is your z program,

then inside the z program itself,

2. we can check the authorisation

for the designation/pre-defined tcode (tcode assigned to that program)

(we have to check authorisation for the pre-defined ztcode,

and not the current tcode)

3. we can do this using the FM

AUTHORITY_CHECK_TCODE

4. Then if the user runs the program,

either using tcode directly,

or sm36 (background)

or anything else,

the z program would do all checks perfectly fine.
