How to determine employee type (management vs nonmanagement)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am running SP14.

In my WebDynpro application, I need to hide/show a link based on if the employee is management or nonmanagement.

What is the easiest way to determine the type of employee in a WebDynpro? Is the management/non-management attribute already exposed and available to the WebDynpro? Or do I need to invoke a BAPI/RFC to retrieve that information from SAP (eg Employee Group or Personnel Area)?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Kevin,

I think you should use role. When user is in role manager (or a kind of manager) you can activate link and so on. Alternatively you can determine a position of user in organisation structure (possibly you should ask your HR specialist how do that).
