By what means do you want them to write files to this directory? From SAP? Via Windows share? ftp? nfs?

Please provide some more details.

Please tell us more about how you want to allow end-users to write which kind of files to a system directory through SAP. We need more information to understand your problem. It might still be more of a programming issue than security related....

In the case of S_DATASET it is certainly both : first check the authority of the user (FM AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET) and react to it in the program, before the DATASET statement reacts to it anway...

Take a look at object S_DATASET in tcode SU21, or place your cursor on the ABAP statement DATASET and hit F1 on the keyboard.

Cheers,
