Solman - Restricting user access at Sub folder levels

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have created a new project in Solman(eg."ABCD"). The requirement is to upload all the existing documents of the project into Solman. Documents are already classified modulewise as MM,SD,PP etc. and stored in respective folders named after modules.

Similar folder structure has been created within Solman, with folder names as below and documents have been uploaded respectively:

Level 1: Project Name

Level 2: Module Names

Level 3: Module subfolders

ABCD

MM

- Custom

SD

- Custom

PP

- Custom

The requirement from client is to restrict user's access for Level 2 and Level 3 folders. At the moment we are able to restrict access (read or read/write) for users at Level 1 only ie. at Project level, using auth object S_IWB, field folder group.

Need your expert inputs to understand, if it is possible to restrict user access at Level 2 & Level 3 folders.

1.If so how to restrict access at authorization level?

2.Is there a way to create folder groups for Level 2 or Level 3 level folders?

3.Can structures be used to arrive at this functionality?

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Nagendran,

Have you tried using authorization object S_PROJECT here it is possible to delegate authorizations module wise. Please do check.

Hi Subbu,

Object S_project does not restrict access at the folder level ,of my requirement. Is there any other known approach?
