S_GUI settings Activity 02 and 04

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

During authorization settings, users requires us to let them download data from SAP system.

To realize thier requirement, we activated authorizaton object "S_GUI", "Activity" 61 "Export".

When we explained this authorization function to our customer, they asked us

"What other settings mean?", at that time, we couldn't answer thier question properly.

This "S_GUI" settings, we know the function what activity 60:Import/61:Export" control, but

for other activity "02:Change" and "04:Print", when we activate these function, we have

no idea what kind of function it would provide us.

I found one topic in SAP wiki -> http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SMAUTH/S_GUI

and it says as below;

61: Download; This authorizes you to save lists displayed on the screen in local files (either unconverted, in spreadsheet format, or in Rich Text Format). This authorization can only be granted or denied fo all lists in the system - you cannot restrict it to a selection of lists.

60: Upload; This authorizes you to load data into the system using ws_upload or gui_upload. You cannot select the data to be uploaded.

04: Print; (not used)

02: Change; (not used)

I can not understand "not used" exactly means. If we activate these function "02:Change and 04:Print" via

PFCG, i can not figure out whether it works or not. I don't know what these settings allow users to do,either.

anybody, please give me your advice.

Regards,

Satoru

Hi,

it means that currently there is no check for these activities. So it does not matter if you give authorization for these activities to your users. It does not control anything.

Hi Martin

Thank you for your kind reply.

Just want to make sure. Activating or disactivating these two authorization activity,

there is no difference. nothing would happen in SAP system right?

If so, my question is just solved. I am going to explain it to our customer.

Thank you very much!
