Authorization 

Use

The processing type Authorization enables variables to be filled with values automatically from the user authorization.

Integration

The processing type Authorization can be used with characteristic value variables and hierarchy node variables.

Prerequisites

You have maintained the authorizations  in transaction RSMM.

Features

When you create a variable, if you choose Process with Authorization, the variable is automatically filled with the values of the user's authorization. When the user opens a query, the data is selected automatically according to his or her authorizations.

Note that when they are automatically filled, variables do not have to be ready-for-input, which means a variables screen does not necessarily appear when you open the query or Web application. The user opens the query with the authorization variable, and can see only the data that corresponds to his or her authorizations.

Activities

In the variable wizard in the General Information dialog step, choose the processing type Authorization.
