Definition

Authorization-relevant display attributes are hidden in the query if the user does not have sufficient authorization to view them.

Use

For characteristics:

The user needs to have complete authorization (*) to see the display attribute in the query.

Example

For the characteristic 0EMPLOYEE, the 0EMPLSTATUS attribute is authorization-relevant. Only users with authorization "*" for 0EMPLSTATUS can display the attribute in the query.

For key figures:

Key figures cannot be marked as authorization-relevant. To use this function nonetheless for key figure attributes, the system checks against meta object 1KYFNM. For this, the user requires authorization for the field 1KYFNM in the authorization object.

Example

The key figure attribute 0ANSALARY is contained in the 0EMPLOYEE characteristic.

If the user has the 1KYFNM field in his or her authorization object, and authorization "*", he or she can display all key figure attributes.

If the user has the 1KYFNM field in the authorization object and the 0ANSALARY key figure as a value of the authorization, he or she can only see this key figure attribute. If the user is not supposed to see this attribute, do not give the authorization "*" but only assign the key figures for authorization that are to be displayed.
