Authorization Objects in the CTSLocate this document in the navigation structure

The following authorization objects exist in the CTS:

  • S_TRANSPRT

    Used to secure the functions that change transport requests and tasks

  • S_CTS_ADMI

    Used to secure the administration functions in the CTS

If you have just installed the system, use the role maintenance transaction to maintain authorizations. If you want to set up your own authorizations, use the authorization trace. For more information, see  Analyzing Authorizations Using the System Trace.

You can also assign the authorizations in the CTS for individual systems. This is particularly relevant for non-ABAP transports, since many non-ABAP systems can have the same ABAP communication system and this allows you to control the authorizations separately for the individual systems. For more information, see System-Specific Authorizations.

S_TRANSPRT

The authorization object S_TRANSPRT consists of the fields Activity and Request Type. The following values are used:
