Function documentationAuthorizations in Marketing Planning and Campaign Management

 

An authorization check protects the processing of a marketing project. With this authorization check, the system controls whether a user is allowed to create, change, display or delete a marketing project. For example: If a user opens a marketing project for which they have no change authorization, it is opened in display mode.

Note Note

The results of the authorization check apply to the entire marketing project. It is therefore not possible to forbid a user from changing a campaign header and, at the same time, to allow them to make changes to a campaign element.

End of the note.

The following actions are protected by an additional authorization check:

  • Entering plan values in marketing projects (activity 72)

  • Changing general settings (for example, marketing element overviews and assignment of template plans): authorization object CRM_MPL_AD (activity 23)

Features

Authorization Objects

The authorization concept in the Marketing Planning and Campaign Management component provides for the following authorization objects in the standard:

Activities

The system performs the following authorization checks on marketing projects:

  1. When a marketing project is created, the system checks whether the user has authorization to create for the general authorization objects (CRM_MPT for marketing plans, CRM_CPG for campaigns, CRM_TPM for trade promotions, and CRM_DLM for deals). Without this authorization, the user cannot create the marketing project.

  2. When you save the project, the system performs a final check of the new marketing project for all authorization objects. If authorization for one of the authorization objects is missing, the marketing project cannot be saved.
