Authorizations in the Project System
The Project System distinguishes between two forms of authorization:
- object-related authorizations
- authorizations for functions, which are also used in other applications
All the authorizations, which you need for working in the Project System, are included in the standard SAP authorization profile C_PS_ALL
Object-related authorizations
In the object class "Project System", you will find authorization objects which refer directly to application objects in the Project System (such as project definitions and networks). To choose them, go to the R/3 main menu and choose Tools -> Administration -> User maintenance -> Authorization.
Generally speaking, these refer to a particular value in the object (e.g. controlling area) and an activity (e.g. time scheduling). For more details, read the online documentation for the authorization objects.
Authorizations for particular functions
As well as the object-related authorizations, you need authorizations which are also used in other applications in the R/3 system, for example CO, FI, PM, Document Management System etc. For details about the necessary authorizations, refer to the IMG of the corresponding applications.
Note
Specially if you are new to R/3, we recommend
that you use the 
Profile Generator for creating authorizations and profile. This
functions simplifies Customizing considerably.
For details on the individual configuration steps for the Profile Generator, refer to the IMG "Basis -> System Administration -> Users and Authorizations -> Maintain authorizations and profiles using profile generator".
