Authorization on MARA table

[Former Member]

Hi all

I need to set authorization on MARA( Material Master table). Where in profile generator(PFCG) can i mention the table name and set authorization.

I am basically looking how can i create profile (using PFCG) that authorized only view access to MARA (Material Master table) MM the team.

Thank you very much.

Julio,

Assign the table to an authorization group using transaction SE54. Only give access to this table auth group to those you wish (controlled via auth object S_TABU_DIS). Remove access from other roles.

Search on table authorization groups for more info.

Hi Ben

Thanks for the quick response. Do i need to create own authorization group or use the one one provided by SAP.

Where do i specify then name of TABLE(e.g MARA). ...I have the following under PGCF but don't see the TABLE authorization.

(PFCG--->>Under menu..>>>.i only see (TRANSPORT, REPORT, OTHER and AUTHORIZATION DEFAULT)

Thanks

Julio,

You will likely be creating a new authorization group if you are restricting access from everyone. Also you don't specify the table name in the auth object (S_TABU_DIS), within the role, only the authorization group (4 characters) for which you have assigned to the table in transaction SE54.

High level overview:

1. Go to SE54 and create new auth group.

2. Assign table to auth group using SE54.

3. Add S_TABU_DIS with the auth group to roles.

4. Remove S_TABU_DIS specific auth group access from roles

Cheers,

Ben
