Restrict users to use layouts in ME2M

[mohamed_husien]

Dear Experts,

We have created many variants in me2m, is it possible to authorize a specific user to use only this Layout without the possibility of using any other layouts?

Thanks in advance.

Did you check if the standard report in your SAP version will check the authorization object S_ALV_LAYR and S_ALV_LAYO, in this case you got your answer.

(For reference: OSS note 1857519 - Users can change global layouts in ME51N/ME52N or ME21N/ME22N or Purchasing reports)

Dear Raymond, Can you please clarify more? how can i use the above objects to restrict specific layout to specific user?

Regards,

Mohamed.

(PFCG) Grant/Remove authorizations related to those objects from the user roles/profiles. - Object S_ALV_LAYR (1667238 - Introduction of authorization object S_ALV_LAYR) allows to handle the authorization per report (Look at object parameters fields with SU21)

Hello again Raymnond,

Thanks for your reply, i'm afraid that you didn't get my point. for example, i have created layout named "xyz" i want to authorize specific users to use it, not everyone can use this layout. above objects you have mentioned didn't do that operation.

Thanks.

Mohamed Hamada.
