SAP R/3 : Indirect Role assignments - Is position unique to every user?

95 Views

Hi.

While am exploring /learning SAP R/3 roles and auth, I would appreciate if I could get clarity on the following :

This link on SDN on Indirect role assignments are very informative.

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/f03e6f6c-8c16-2a10-1581-ed8812e2effe

This link is also more explanatory : http://my.affinitext.com/public/book/5442/-1/1423831

So if my understanding is correct, it is better to assign roles - indirectly by position, so that if an employee's position changes, his role can be removed, based on position again ??? And somewhere we are linking with infotype 105.

My only doubt is : if we are going to assign roles by position and remove the roles by position, so that as the position of an employee changes, the previous roles become null and void and new roles can be assigned as per new position.

So would like to know :

as to whether this position number which we see from PA20, is unique to every user on the system ?

So that, if there is a need to remove a role based on postion, we could remove the role from PO13;

BY doing that, then will it not affect other users ?

Can somebody help me understand this.

Because if i want to see the effect immediately, if i go to PFUD and put the role name and say execute, i see that the role which was removed from PO13 is gone immediately from the user.

Many thanks

Indu
