Authorizations for Process Chains 

Use

You use authorization checks in process chain maintenance to lock the process chain, and the processes of the chain, against actions by unauthorized users.

·        You control whether a user is allowed to perform specific activities.

·        You control whether a user is allowed to schedule the processes in a chain.

The authorization check for the processes in a chain runs when the system performs the check. This takes place upon scheduling or during synchronous execution. The check is performed in display mode. The check is performed for each user that schedules the chain; it is not performed for the user who executes the chain. The user who executes the chain is usually the BI background user. The BI background user automatically has the required authorizations for executing all BI process types. In attribute maintenance for the process chain, you can determine the user who is to execute the process chain.

Features

For the administration processes that are bundled in a process chain, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_ADMWB.

To work with process chains, you require authorization for authorization object S_RS_PC. You use this authorization object to determine whether process chains can be displayed, changed or executed, and whether logs can be deleted. You can use the name of the process chain as the basis for the restriction, or restrict authorizations to chains using the application components to which they are assigned.
