Displaying Profile Lists

Displaying Profile Lists

You can display a list of authorization profiles defined in the system, from which you can select profiles.

Choose User maintenance ® Profiles from the Maintain users: Profiles screen.

By choosing Values you can display the individual profiles. In the first line of the screen is the profile name, for example, SAP_ALL. The following details are displayed for each authorization in the profile:

Object: The authorization object

Authorization: The authorization assigned to the object

Field: The fields in the authorization object

A user has authorization for an object if he or she satisfies the authorization check for each field in that object. Otherwise the user cannot execute any action which is protected by that object.

Values: The set of values contained in an authorization. The R/3 System uses these values to check a user’s authorization.

The Infosystem provides you with additional information on profile lists according to complex search criteria. See Using the Infosystem.
