HI Nagini,

Yes we can definitely do this using AUTHORITY-CHECK..

You program the authorization check using the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK.

<b>AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TRVL_BKS'

ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'

ID 'CUSTTYPE' FIELD 'B'.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE E...

ENDIF.</b>

The AUTHORITY-CHECK checks whether a user has the appropriate authorization to execute a particular activity.

When this happens, the system checks the authorization profiles in the user’s master record for the appropriate authorization object (S_TRVL_BKS). If the authorization is found and it contains the correct values, the check is successful.

The system administrator has defined the following authorizations for the authorization object S_TRVL_BKS:

S_TRVL_CUS1 with the following values:

• for customer type ( CUSTTYPE field) and

03 for activity (field: ACTVT).

Users with this authorization can display all customer bookings (activity 03 = display).

S_TRVL_CUS2 with the following values:

B for customer type ( CUSTTYPE) and

02 for activity (ACTVT).

Users with this authorization can change all business customers (activity 02 = change).

When assigning profiles, the system administrator gave different authorizations to different users.

User Miller has been assigned a profile containing both of these authorizations (S_TRVL_CUS1 and S_TRVL_CUS2). Miller can therefore change bookings for business customers.

User Meyers on the other hand, is only authorized to display the records (S_TRVL_CUS1) and therefore cannot change bookings.

Hope this helps you..

Enjoy SAP.
