Authorization fields

In this final step you have to assign the values required to run the functionalities to the authorization fields of each single object.

 

RFC access for ZAUDICZ_RFC_READ_TABLE

Authorization check for RFC access (S_RFC)
Activity (ACTVT)	16 (Execute)
Name of RFC object (RFC_NAME) to be protected	ZAUDICZ_RFC_READ_TABLE
Type of RFC object (RFC_TYPE) to be protected	FUNC (function module) Note: In older SAP® versions 700 and 701 or support packages the FUNC (Function module) value for RFC_TYPE is not supported. If you import the template, “??” is displayed. In this case grant full authorization ‘*’ for RFC_TYPE.

RFC Access

Authorizations check for RFC access (S_RFC)
Activity (ACTVT)	16 (Execute)
Name of RFC object (RFC_NAME) to be protected	RFC1, SCUST_SYS_INFO, SDIFRUNTIME, SDTX, SLI1, SUSR, SYST
Type of RFC object (RFC_TYPE) to be protected	FUGR (Function group)

Note:

The authorizations for the function groups SLI1 and SCUST_SYS_INFO are optional for the download of data, however, for the download of Data Dictionary information these authorizations are required.

The called function modules SCSI_GET_SYSTEM_INFO and SLIC_GET_CUSTKEY provide additional information, which is displayed when testing the connection and which is required to download the Data Dictionary information.

When calling the function modules SLIC_GET_CUSTKEY the additional authorization S_ADMI_FCD and the activity PADM are required for full functionality.

 

System authorizations (S_ADMI_FCD)
Activity (ACTVT)	PADM (process administration with the transactions SM04, SM50)

Table: S_ADMI_FCD authorization

 

If this authorization is missing, no customer key will be returned. Downloading Data Dictionaries, however, will be completed successfully.

Customer specific adjustments

The value "*" for the DICBERCLS authorization field makes sure that the following functions are available:

1. Download the Data Dictionaries of the target system.
2. Access to an SAP® system using ZAUDICZ_RFC_READ_TABLE.
3. Access to data of all available tables of the Data Dictionaries in the SAP® system.
4. Export all available/selected table definitions (Data Dictionary).

 

To create customer specific authorization objects please note the following:

1. The authorization groups below are required to use the SmartExporter functionality to download Data Dictionaries (see point a):

   Table maintenance using default tools like SM30 (S_TABU_DIS)
   Activity (ACTVT)	03 (Display)
   Auth. group (DICBERCLS)	&NC&, SC, SS, STRW

   Table: DICBERCLS for table access (S_TABU_DIS) for Data Dictionary download

   Note:

   With SAP® base version 731 or higher also the authorization group STRW for downloading Data Dictionaries is required because the tables TDEVC and TADIR were assigned anew.

    

2. The following authorization groups are the minimum configuration essential for the SmartExporter functionalities (see point b and d):

   Table maintenance using default tools like SM30 (S_TABU_DIS)
   Activity (ACTVT)	03 (Display)
   Auth. group (DICBERCLS)	&NC&, SS

   Table: Minimum configuration of DICBERCLS for table access (S_TABU_DIS)

3. Additionally the corresponding authorization groups for the access of specific tables are to be defined (see section “Customer specific adjustments” - point c above). Refer to the SAP® table TDDAT to get the information for the authorization groups.

   Example: Authorization group FB01 to access table T001.

   Table maintenance using default tools like SM30 (S_TABU_DIS)
   Activity (ACTVT)	03 (Display)
   Auth. group (DICBERCLS)	&NC&, SS, FB01

   Table: Additional definition of DICBERCLS for table access (S_TABU_DIS)

   Note:

   If you are using SAP® systems with a base release version 700 or higher, a new authorization object S_TABU_NAM is available (please refer to SAP® note 1481950). This object also allows you to restrict the access on table level below or alongside an authorization group.

   You can find a list of function modules used by SmartExporter for the access via ZAUDICZ_RFC_READ_TABLE RFC module here.

    

4. Save the changes by clicking the Save icon. Click the Generate button to generate the authorization role.

   Now the authorization role Z_SE_ZAUDICZ is defined.
