Function documentationMaintenance of Users and Recipients

 

In the SAP Application Interface Framework, there are two key approaches that you can take to the maintenance of users and recipients, namely, a user-centric and a recipient-specific approach.

In Customizing for SAP Application Interface Framework (transaction code AIF/CUST), you can assign interface-specific authorizations to restrict or expand users' activities.

Features

User-Centric Approach

For a user-centric approach for assigning users to recipients, use Alert Recipients: User (transaction code /AIF/RECIPIENTS). You can access Alert Recipients: User from the SAP Easy Access menu by choosing Start of the navigation path Cross-Application Components Next navigation step SAP Application Interface Framework Next navigation step Administration Next navigation step Configuration Next navigation step Recipients of a User End of the navigation path.

This gives you an overview of the assignments of a user to recipients and enables you to make new assignments.

For each recipient, you can specify a message type that defines which kind of message, for example, Application Error or Warning, is included in an alert.

Set the Include in Overview Screen indicator to specify that the user can see the message of this recipient in the Interface Monitor.

Set the Technical User indicator to specify that the user can monitor messages with the status In process and messages with technical errors on the Interface Monitor screen.

You can also view the recipients for the current user from the SAP Easy Access menu by choosing Start of the navigation path Cross-Application Components Next navigation step SAP Application Interface Framework Next navigation step Recipients of Current User End of the navigation path.

Recipient-Specific Approach

The second approach offers a recipient-specific view for assigning a user to recipients and you access it in Customizing for SAP Application Interface Framework under Start of the navigation path Error Handling Next navigation step System Configuration Next navigation step Assign Recipients End of the navigation path. You can see which users are assigned to which recipient and you can assign users, roles, and external addresses to a recipient.

For each assignment, you can specify a message type and set the Include in Overview Screen and Technical User indicators.
