Authorization Checks in Reporting (PA-PAD)

Generally, authorization checks in reporting do not differ from those in the transactions. Since data access in reporting is always of the read type, the system checks for a read authorization; this means the authorization group must be R or * .

In some situations, you may want to use a simplified authorization check when running reports. The object RPABAP is required for the check as well as the object RPORGIN ; if these authorizations are available, a simpler and faster check is performed.

If the report cannot read certain personnel data due to lack of authorization, the data for these persons is not processed at the GET PERNR event. A note appears at the end of the list stating the number of persons who were skipped due to lack of authorization.
