Hello all,

What authorizations have to be granted to a BW developer in R/3? How do I go about it? Does a BW developer get all the access as an R/3 developer or is it restricted?

Thanks.

Yes, usually BW developer will have same authorizations as an R/3 developer in R/3 system and there won't be any restrictions.

Thanks

Hi,

I would say it depends on the standards of the organization.

BW developers can have the same authorizations as R3 developers, but then they don't need authorizations to say access Smartforms or SAP scripts, create screens, or do CATT, BDC or LMSW programs. In Prod may it be R3 or BW developer, access to Tcodes like SE38, SA38, SE11, etc should always be restricted to display and execute only.

In addition, BW developers would also have additional authorizations like RSO2, RSA5, RSA3...basically all authorizations needed to confgure and set up BW on the source system side, which the R3 developers may not necessarily have.

Cheers,

Kedar
