Problems restricting Project Systems Profit center Access - C_PRPS_PRC

[Former Member]

Folks, I've had a trawl round the forums but can't get a definitive answer to the problem.

We are runnig SAP ECC6 and want to restrict access to certain projects by profit center. So, obvious auth object looks like C_PRPS_PRC which I restrict in a role to have access to only profit Centers beginning with P. So, I test by running CJ03 and choose a project that I know has a profit Center beginning with W. Problem! can still view the project detail and infact change the detail ( CJ02 ).

I put a trace on ( ST01) it shows that the object - C_PRPS_PRC does indeed fail the access ( RC=4) and yet the program still allows access to the Project. Is there some config. that I need to install/enable to ensure C_PRPS_PRC is actually checked.

thanks.

Hi,

are you sure that you can display/modify WBS? Initially, only object C_PROJ_PRC is checked when you open a new project in CJ20N. The object C_PRPS_PRC is checked when you try to drill down to corresponding WBS elements. There are also some OSS notes about missing authorization checks in PS but they are pretty old.

Hello,

The object C_PROJ_PRC is used to control the access to project defination depending upon profit centre.

C_PRPS_PRC is used to control access to WBS element depending upon profit centre.

thanks folks, I know what the proble is now - DATA! we had some data in for a project that was on a particualr profit centre that when we looked at the WBS element there was a different Profit Centre. Thanks for your help with this.

Hi there

I have read all the comments around restrictions on the C_PRPS_PRC AND C_PROJ_PRC, but i need to restrict the access to Project profiles. We have already implemented these C_PRPS_PRC AND C_PROJ_PRC.

I cannot find anything on project profiles restriction.
