Object documentationPredefined Authorization Profiles for System Administration

 

Spool administrators must have system authorizations (S_ADMI_SPO) so that they can define and administer output devices and other spool system objects.

The system authorizations have been combined into the predefined authorization profiles described below.

 

Basic authorization (authorization object: S_TCODE) is required by all administrators, otherwise, they cannot access the spool administration functions (transaction SPAD, Start of the navigation path Tools Next navigation step CCMS Next navigation step Spool Next navigation step Spool Administration End of the navigation path).

You can assign administrators separate access to one of the following spool administration functions using predefined authorization profiles:

  • Defining and managing output devices (make printers and fax devices available to users in the SAP system)

  • Defining and managing spool servers (attributes for spool servers, such as alternative server)

  • Defining and managing the mapping of external output management systems (OMSs) in the SAP system

  • Defining and managing device types, formats, and other objects in the spool system.

Structure

The authorization object is S_ADMI_FCD (system authorizations).

The following predefined authorization profiles are available:

Predefined

Profile

Authorization

S_ADMI_SPO_A

This profile grants unrestricted spool system maintenance authorization.

It allows all operations in Start of the navigation path Spool Next navigation step Spool Administration End of the navigation path, including defining printers, modifying device types, and so on.

S_ADMI_SPO_D

This profile restricts spool maintenance to defining and editing devices (printers).

Device definitions identify a printer in your system to the SAP system.

S_ADMI_SPO_E

This profile restricts spool maintenance to managing external output management systems (OMSs) in the spool system.

It allows a user to define or edit the physical and logical OMS definitions in the SAP spool system. These definitions enable communication between the SAP system and an external OMS.

S_ADMI_SPO_T

This profile restricts spool maintenance to maintaining device types and associated components. A user can define or edit a device type, work with SAP formats and SAP character sets, and so on.

Add one or more of the user authorization profiles listed above to an administrator profile to specify the access that an administrator has to spool requests in the spool output controller.
