Programatically create Security Profiles via BAPI/FM in R/3?

[alexander_schuchman]

Anyone know of a BAPI or Function Module which I can use to create a NEW Profile or Role(Activity Group)? I am developing a custom security request tool to simplify the process of user role assignment and need to be able to create new roles/activity groups/profiles with specific authorization object values.

Any help would greatly be appreciated. I'd really prefer not using a BDC but that's what I'll have to do unless I get a response.

I tried this FM, it returns a list of the existing roles in the system. I did a where used and couldn't find a good example of how to call it properly.

Would you mind posting an example of how I can use this to create a new profile?

Thanks

Hi,

Check these FMs:

SUSR_USER_DISPLAY_WITH_AUTHS Displays user authorisation objects (Note: may have to debug around authority checks)

BAL_GLB_AUTHORIZATION_GET Assign authorization

BAL_GLB_AUTHORIZATION_RESET Reset authorization

Also check out this link:

These functions appear to set and get a specific authorization. I need to actually have the system create a role/profile and then assign it to the user permanently.

The other thread you referred to is basically using a CATT or FM based on "Call Transaction", which I would not like to do since the screen could potentially change.
