creating authorization levels

Question: hello,

I found note that names a report that needs to be run so that I can
change a field and make it organizational level(done it). But when I look at that field within a certain object in the PFCG, its still yellow like before, and I cant find it under the button "organizatinal level"......do I have to somehow generate my new organizational level field? And in that case how, because the su24 and others are just for transactions.

grateful for some help

Answer:
1. Did you run the reports in test mode and not change mode?
2. are you relying on the text name or the technical value of the field. The program PFCG_ORGFIELD_CREATE uses the techincal name and there are several fields that look the same in text but are not technically, Company code and Company come to mind.

Note that if you create the org level and then decide to remove it there is a bug in the PFCG_ORGFIELD_DELETE program that corrupts the SU24 entries the the customer adds that are not in the SAP source table. you will have to corrext these manually.

Answer:
Hello,

I managed to create a organizational level object running the report. But normally when you see standard organizational levels they appear red until they are filled in. When I look in the object containing the field I changed, and add it to a role, its still yellow. That is my problem, it doesnt really change and it does not show under the button organizational level. So what do I have to do to see it there, and also to see the field red in the object.

thank you in advance
Vincent

Answer:
Was the object added by you in SU24 or was it SAP delivered?. GO to SU24 and remove the object from the tcode that is brining it in and readd and see if it correts itself.

Answer:
the object I used is ygo_sec_op and is not connected to any tcode......I checked that too..............more ideas please......maybe we can solve this:)

Answer:
ygo_sec_op? the "Y" implies a customer developed object. The report that creates the org level manipulates the customer table in SU24 and then changes AGR_1251, but it your ygo_sec_op was not changed then the code may ignore MANUALY inserted objects (highly possible I did not pay attention to this part of the code). So it may be working as designed.

The best practice it to tie all required objects to a tcode and configure it in SU24 with the most restrictive access ( usually view if the tcode has to be shared between change and view) and the you ADD manual authorization to increase access with the priviso that you have a standard to support its inclusion in the role. If you have a manual ( there are some exceptions) without a standard, this would indiate to you that the tcode needing the access has been removed and the MANUAL should also be removed.

Try removing the object fromthe role, exit PFCG entirely and re-open the role and add it back ( the exit entirley may not be needed in all cases).

Answer:
thanks for your input, stupid me playing with y fields.

It works fine for the standard fields, but not for the customized ones, atleast it seems like. Just like you said.

thanks for your help

cheers
Vincent

Answer:
Custom Fields ot Objects? you can add the fields in the table and link your custome fieild to an SAP variable. Table USorg is the link between Field and variable in table USVAR. If you add a USVAR then you MUST transport talbe USVART to get it to work in the other systems ( you should take USVAR as well).

Did removing the object and re-add help or is it truely a 'Y' onject and new fields?
