Master data authorization in Plant Maintenance
You can use this authorization object to
control which groups of master data a user can display, create or change.
The authorization group is defined in the master record of the piece of
equipment, functional location or reference location, object link, maintenance
item or measuring points.
The authorization is checked in the case of:
The following fields are allocated to the authorization object:
User A is to be allowed to change only certain
pieces of equipment. He or she is not allowed to access any other pieces of
equipment.
You can achieve this by allocating an authorization group, for example
authorization group 001, to the pieces of equipment for which he or she has
authorization. You can do this in the equipment master record. You then create
the following authorization:
When the authorization is assigned to User A, he or she can carry out all transactions for equipment of authorization group 001. User A can therefore display, create and change all pieces of equipment of this authorization group.
If you want to assign further authorizations to the user for other objects or other authorization groups, you must create another authorization and then assign it to User A.
If an authorization group is assigned to a measuring point or counter, the documents entered for the measuring point/counter also inherit this authorization group when the document is entered.
This means that you can use the combination transaction code authorization group to attain for the user the authorization to enter, change or simply display measurement documents or counter readings.
An explicit assignment of authorization group to a measurement document or counter reading is not possible.
