Update infotype 0008 without authorisation

[Former Member]

In my customised report, I need to update several infotypes like infotype 0000, 0001, 0002 and 0008 using function module HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION. However, my user who might not have authorisation in infotype 0008. How can I bypass the authorisation? Or do I need to use another function module? Please advise.

Hi lanwu,

1. Authorisation is a must.

2. This FM will check the authorisation.

3. Its better to provide the authorisation

for updating infotype 0008 to that

particular user.

Its not best practice to not check for authorization esp for Infty 8 basic pay.

Do advice user the reason from a business point of view.
