The following authorization checks are available:

  • Checks using authorization groups for business partners, for which you need at least display authorization.

  • Checks for authorization for the resource planning application, and for objects that use the service area, job function, and resource type for both internal and external resources.

  • Checks using organizational management with structural authorization.

Integration

You can use structural authorizations based on the organizational assignment of the resources. These are maintained in the SAP Implementation Guide, using:

  • Activity Create Authorization Profile, in which you define and verify structural authorizations

  • Activity Assign Authorization Profiles to Users, in which you assign a specific authorization profile to the users on a time-dependent basis

  • Activity Save User Data in SAP Memory, in which you specify users for whom structural authorization data should be permanently saved in the SAP memory

  • Two BAdIs, which provide additional customer-specific IMG activities for structural authorization

You access these activities in Customer Relationship Management Customizing, by choosing   Workforce Deployment   Service Resource Planning   Structural Authorization  .
