Removing a role from a customizing project

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a role that was assigned to a customizing project by an SAP consultant who is no longer working for our company. We have the need to add a new t-code to this role, but get the error that the role is assigned to a customizing project. If we try to remove the customizing role assignment, all of the menus and t-codes get deleted as well. Any way to unhook the role from the project without losing all the information contained within the role?

Thanks

Hi Mike,

not too hard....

Create a new role->menu tab->import menu from other role->select your customizing role>select entries.

Now you have a role with all the menu entries of the cusotmizing role. The same can be done also for the authorizations (import from profile (select profile of customizing role).

Hi Bernhard,

Thanks for your quick reply. Couple of problems.The role we're required to update is a config role that has apx. 15,000 t-codes in it.. When importing the role menu, it requires you to select the t-codes to include manully. NO small task.There is no select all option.I also do not see any option to import profiles. We're running ECC 6.0. Any other suggestions.

Thanks for your input.

HI Mike,

well, you know whats about a role with 15000 t-codes in it....

The quick solution is to create a new role with that single additional t-code, create a composite role containing the old

cusotmizing role and that new one and assign the composite role instead of the customizing role. Nevertheless, rather kill that customizing role....

Hi MIke,

in my opinion the correct way would be to change the linked IMG project.

Use PFCG, change to menu tab and select the menu -> Utilities -> Customizing auth.

Select 'Display' and you will be showed the name of the IMG projekt. Now select 'Delete' to remove the IMG Project from the role. Don't panic: all authorizations will disappear, of corse.

Select transaction SPRO_ADMIN, double click the IMG project, change to tab 'Scope' and then 'Specify scope'. Find the transaction you are going to add to the role and add it to your project. When looking for the proper node of the transaction the transaction SEARCH_SAP_MENU might be helpful. After that generate the IMG project again.

Back to your role (PFCG): tab Menu again, -> Utilities -> Customizing auth. again, then 'Add' your project to the role like before. Goto tab 'Authorizations" correct, if necessary, the parameters of open authorizational objects, generate the role and - voila!

Hope it helps.

either copy to new role and add tcode, or crete new role with given tcode and create composite.
