SAP Authorization, Profiles, Address

The R/3 authorization concepts permits the assignment of general or finely detailed user authorizations. These assignments can reach down to the transaction, field and field value level.  These authorizations are centrally administered in user master records and most allow the handling of certain R/3 components applicable to specific operations.  Actions by a user may required several authorizations.

For example, to change a material master record, authorizations are required for the :

  • Transaction change
  • Specific material
  • General authorization to work within the company code
RSUSR010 - Transaction Lists According to Selection With User, Profile or Object.
                    List of Transaction codes of the user.

RSUSR007 - List Users Whose Address Data is Incomplete
                    The program check for space in the address data field.  To print the whole list, tick a field which is always
                    space. (e.g. Room No.)

Version 4.6x and above

RSUSR002_ADDRESS - Users by address data

In 4.6x and above, you used Role for each users and SAP will generate the necessary profiles and authorizations.

PFCG - Basic Maintenance

Type in a meaningful  ZXXX role name and click Create
Menu -> Transaction (insert all the transaction code for this role)
Authorization -> Change authorization data -> Generate
 

Question:

During role creation using PFCG, if we are not checking the user comparison, will that affect the users, once the role have been assigned to them? 

Answer:

1. If the role is already assigned to the user and we are just modifying the role then the modifications will not be effective. As soon as we perform user comparision all the modifications done will be effective.

2. If we are creating a new role then without user comparision the role will not be assigned to the user.  In such case to assign the role to user we have to use tcode SU01 and ROLE tab.
