ALV Layout restriction

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Our users are restricted from changing default layouts. Superusers are allowed to change default layouts for specific reports, we are using the S_ALV_LAYR authorisation object to achieve this.

We are now required to allow some of the super users to change layouts for transaction code FBL5N, this transaction code does not get checked against the above mentioned authorisation object.

Any idea how to allow users to change the default layout for this transaction code without giving the users access to authorisation object S_ALV_LAYO?

Thanks

Hi Rivka,

I believe, Layouts in FBL5N can be changed/set from user end after executing FBL5N by following the the menu path: Settings >> Layout >> Administration

Please check with super user if this fulfills the requirement

Hi Santosh,

Unfortunately without the S_ALV_LAYO or S_ALV_LAYR (restricted to a specific report) authorisation objects, the user can only create a user specific layout, the super users need to create a default layout that can be used by all other users.

Sorry I should have stated it in my original post

thanks,

Hello Rivka,

You need implement custom solution ( Code change and Z authorization object)  to over come this problem.

Hi Shsik,

I was really hoping to avoid custom code.

Thanks,
