Hi

Is it posibble to control the activity of the Infotype field (SSN, Birthdate etc) seperately with in the same Infotype for a user.

Let me explain

There is a situation where in a user needs access to infotype 0002 with change access to SSN field and only display access to Birthdate field.

Hi Kiran,

As far as i know, there is no standard SAP authorization object for restricting fields within the infotype. We had a similar scenario, however, we wanted to hide one field, which we did through transaction screen variant. May be you can given it a try.

Cheers !!

Hi Zaheer,

Thank you for the response.Thats what i belive, to go with the screen variants, where in we can hide a field for a group of users and give access to others for the same infotype.

Hi,

I have the same problem for infotype 0008, but what happens with the reports? Even if I restrict it using the screen control, the users will be able to see the fields in reporting. I tried with a custom authorization object but doesn't seem to work. If you have discovered anything please share.

Thanks in advance
