Function documentationDifferent Authorizations for Formula Developers and Process Developers Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can use the authorization object PLM_RCPTAB (field ID for Recipe View /PLMB/RCPT) to control whether a user receives authorization to display and change only formula data (field value Formula FORMULA) or process data (field value Process PROCESS).

Generally, the following rules apply:

  • The process developer can never access the Formula view and he or she cannot assign process elements to formula items and cannot create streams.

  • Similarly, a formula developer cannot access the Process view and he or she cannot change process data.

However, there are exceptions to this rule, if the recipe type allows the use of streams in the recipe (see Streams). In this case, the formula developer must also be able to process the process stages in which these streams are created or consumed. Therefore, in a recipe with such a recipe type, the formula developer can also access the Process view and he or she can create process stages in this view to which he or she can then assign streams. However, he or she cannot create or change operations or actions.

The Process view is always visible for recipes with streams, even if the recipe type does not even allow processes. In this case, however, only process stages can be used, and not operations or actions.

The following table provides an overview of the different options:
