Authorizations 

Use

We provide the following authorization checks:

·        Through Business Partner authorization groups where you need at least display authority.

·        Authorization for the resource planning application and objects using service area, job function and resource type for both internal and external resources.

·        Through organizational management using structural authorization.

 

Integration

For project role-based demands, the resource planner must have authorization based on the cProjects authorization concept. For more information, see Authorizations.

 

You can use structural authorizations based on the resources’ organizational assignment. These are maintained in the IMG configuration by:

·        Create Authorization Profile where you define and verify structural authorizations

·        Assign Authorization Profiles to Users where you assign a specific authorization profile to the users on a time-dependent basis.

·        Save User Data in SAP Memory where you specify users for whom structural authorization data should be permanently stored in SAP memory.

·        Two BAdIs which provide additional customer-specific structural authorization customizing activities.

You access these activities by choosing SAP IMG ® Customer Relationship Management ® Workforce Deployment ® Service Resource Planning ® Structural Authorization.
