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.
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 .
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
.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 . 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.
