Mass role & authorization creation

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have been assigned a task to create some 400+ authorizations. Using PFCG and creating one by one would take much time, so I wonder if there is a different approach.

Every role has a different number of transactions, but most of them have the same values for authorization objects (company code, purchasing group etc).

Anyone have an idea on how to do this?

Thank you,

Igor

Nope... no other option. you cannot mass create roles.

You can create a role and then copy and modify the values tho.

What about ECATT or even BAPI usage? There are ECATT procedures for mass users creation. Can that be used for roles as well?

Not as far as I know.

In any case, I will never relay in mass creation of roles as this will represent a security issue, and In my personal opinion is why SAP does not offer mass creation of roles as a standard
