Check authrozation problems in WebDynpro

[matthias_keller]

Hello,

In SAPGUI there exists a tool for analysing authorization errors (go in a SAPGUI menu to System->Utilities->Display Authorization Checks or start transaction code SU53). The tool display which authorization check has failed and displays the current user setting for the failed authorization object. The tool is important e.g. for system adminstrators in order to quickly analyse authroization problems.

In WebDynpro screens I didn't find that functionality. How would I analyse authorization problems for WebDynpro applications?

Best regards,

Hi Matthias!

There is a simple way to find out the root cause of authorization problems (maybe even more simple than using SU53). Use transaction ST01 to activate an authorization trace. But you should filter the trace to your specific user before you activate it.

Then process your application.

Then goto ST01 again and stop and display the trace.

Note: If the trace is empty the user even was not able to login due to several reasons (password, locked, expired etc.). In this case you should investigate ICM trace file ...

Hope this helps.

Hello, Matthias,

I believe that when you have and AUTHORITY-CHECK within your WDA component, if this check is not successful, it will generate an entry on t-code SU53.

If you need to display in your wda component the same information SU53 displays, I believe you'll need to develop it, because I think there's no such tool in WDA.
