Roles showing complete SAP menu instead of customized.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are on version 4.6C. We create some roles with some transactions and design the tree structure. But, when this role is assigned to a user, he is getting a complete SAP menu in which it is difficult for him to search the complete menu to check which transactions he is authorized.

Is there any option/parameter which i can set so that only the designed tree structure is visible for the user?

Please help.

Thanks

Vijay

Yes, and it is in SSM_CUST (via tr. SM30)

I'm not completely sure which one it is, but if you search the forum or saphelp for SSM_CUST you'll get all relevant parameters.

Hi Vijay,

In addition to Jurjens suggestion, you could also train users to swap to the user menu - on their initial SAP screen they click the icon that looks like a person against a white square background.

Hi Vijay,

the switches in SSM_CUST are quite selfexplanatory:

ALL_USER_MENUS_OFF = YES (or 'X')

CUSTOMER_MENU_OFF = YES (or 'X')

SAP_MENU_OFF = YES (or 'X')

INTERNET_MENU_OFF =YES (or 'X')

If you want to disable users to switch between SAP- and user menue, you can maintain the possible settings for each user in table USERS_SSM by setting the corresponding checkbox.

Hope, this helps,

Hi,

I have checked all the below variables with the values as shown below, but still no luck.

ALL_USER_MENUS_OFF = NO

CUSTOMER_MENU_OFF = NO

SAP_MENU_OFF = YES

INTERNET_MENU_OFF =NO

Can you please suggest if i am wrong? I have also tried different combinations of these values but no luck. Do we have to restart the instance after we set these?

Please suggest me the values to have only user menu displayed.

Thanks

Hi,

Also, the icon which looks like a person before a white background (user menu) icon is disabled in my screen.

I know that i can switch to user menu if i use it. Please let me know if i can activate this.

Thanks

Are you sure the user you are testing with has any menus assigned?

Do his/her roles contain menus? I can get the behaviour you describe (about the button) using a user without rolemenus, regardless of the system's settings...

Restarts shouldn't be necessary as far as I know.

Hi,

I can't even use that little icon from my screen and i have sap_all profile. I have one more user for whom i have created a test role with a design which didn't work either.

Thanks

Mind you, that you cannot switch to the user menu has nothing to do with SAP_ALL. Menus are contained in roles, not profiles. Do not mix up the two. For your second claim I'm lost. Looks as if every option came along in this thread.

What happens if you give yourself a role with a menu in addition to your SAP_ALL profile?

Hi,

I have added a custome menu item and some internet links. But it still shows me the same old complete SAP menu.

I beleive, i may have to restart the server for the changes to take effect.!!

Thanks

You should not have to restart. Changes in SSM_CUST take effect immediately. (at least on NW2004)

At this point I suggest you to log an OSS call with SAP to get things sorted out.
