Authorization objects in cFolders

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

I would like more clarity on the following authorization object in cFolders.

CFX_APPL - what's the purpose of this object and what are the allowed values for the field APPL_AREA? What is meant by the term "Application area in cFolders" which is the SAP description for this object?

CFX_USER - this auth object has a single field USER_TYPE. Standard SAP roles have the values 'user', are there any other allowed values here and what is their behavior.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,

Lashan

Hi Lashan,

1- the definition of auth. object CXF_APPL is following:

This authorization object is for the cFolders application. If a user has authorization for this authorization object, he or she can make administrative settings.

You can use the following field values (for APPL_AREA):

- 'Network_Definition': Setting up the network, for example, absolute URL or FTP server settings

- 'Content_Definition': Setting up cFolders content, for example, adding generic objects; choosing scenarios to use

- 'Layout_Definition': Setting up the cFolders layout, for example, style sheets

The permitted activites are: 02 Change and 03 Display.

2- The definition of CFX_USER is as follows:

This authorization object is for the cFolders application. This authorization object must be assigned to the user who wants to use cFolders.

The user needs the following field value to use cFolders:

USER_TYPE = User (no other values exist)

I hope this answers your question.

Regards,

Silvia

thanks... but my question was more related to the authorization objects attached to these standard SAP roles? Specifically what are the allowed values for the fields and purpose of the objects listed above.
