Limit the access in the Organizational Chart

[Former Member]

Hello,

I want to import organizational chart to the portal. The org chart will be use only by the Manager. I goal is to restrict the access to the data, the Manager will display only the employees and positions reported to him.

Do you have an idea how to do it?

Thanks.

Hi

depending on the size of the structure you wish to display and the amount to time you got, this solution can be used

in the SAP/RH system

- search the pernr of the user in th RH system

- get it's unit from Infotype 0001

- use a function like RH_STRUC_GET to get a set of unit / people under this unit

in the iview

- add a javascript component like ECOTree

- call the RH function using RFC

- generate a javascript to add the nodes corresponding to the displayed data.

and you got a graphical org chart

this allows an org chart display

- that is up to date, as far as RH know it.

- that can be manipulated client side

please note that if there is too much data (100+) this take a hit client-side.

It can however be upgraded with to use a web or portal service to load only opened nodes

Hi Khaled,

We did not use any fancy tools to create our Organisation chart within our company via the Portal but the below is what we did.

1) Create a Organisational chart template (Powerpoint)

2) This template is given to the department responsible (as they are nomimated as content editors, also being that they will be the first person to know who's new or who has left the department)

3) Being content editor, they are able to upload the latest Org chart (via WebDav) into the Portal via upload (replacing the existing document)

The above uses basic KM functions and WebDav is a Windows Explorer look and feel, Thus making the content editor more easy as they are comfortable with the tool and not having to learn new skills in order to uopdate org chart. Also the responsibilities of updating are in the departments and not IT.

Alternative, you can also use third party software as mentioned above.

Hope that helps and award points for helpful suggestions.

Khaled,

this is how we are doing.we are using a third party software to display the org chart.we will pass pernr of one of the subordinates of the person who logged in so that org chart defaults with the logged in person at the top

Thanks
