More Information About the Fields

  • The PLVAR field specifies which plan version(s) the user is authorized to access.

  • The OTYPE field specifies which object types the user is authorized to access.

  • The INFOTYP field specifies which infotypes the user is authorized to access.

  • The SUBTYP field specifies which subtypes of given infotypes the user is authorized to access.

Integration

If you use the PLOG authorization object, you must also set up a structural authorization profile for the user. Users of the Personnel Management components ( Organizational Management, Personnel Development, Training and Event Management , ...) can access data only if they have a profile for the PLOG authorization object and a structural authorization profile.

A structural authorization profile is also necessary if you do not want to limit users’ access authorization by the structural authorization check. If this is the case, you must assign the user a structural profile that grants the user access to the whole structure.
