 Assigning Authorizations

Use

Caution Caution

The authorization holders to whom you grant authorization for a project element must have at least display authorization for the project definition that belongs to the project element. Otherwise, he or she will not be able to open a project element even if they have authorization to do so.

End of the caution.

Here you can assign authorizations for an object or change authorizations. You save your entries by saving the project.

Note Note

  • You cannot make any changes if you opened a snapshot.

  • The authorizations you enter for templates are only authorization templates : They are not used for the authorization check in the template , but in the operational project. When you create an operational project in the template they are copied to the project.

  • The authorizations you specify for user groups are only valid for the actual user group and not for the project elements to which you assign the group later on. You need at least read authorization for a user group to be able to use it in a project.

  • In the authorization holder type Roles , the roles are not the roles you can create yourself in Project Management, but the roles that your system administrator created in SAP authorization management.

End of the note.
