Position Based Security Model

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

In one of our projects we are looking to implement indirect role assignment model (Position Based Security Model). The main challenge we are
facing is..

How to map / configure external employees or contract employees within the system.

Greatly obliged if you could share best practice / your expertise in this area.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks

You need to have HR Data created for them

Could you please explain the process, thanks

it is not a process.

Check your HR master data.exists for external users from HR Dept.

if the company does not enter HR data in SAP for contractors or external users, you will not be able to use position based security.

Thanks Pranav,

We are actually implementing it from the scratch, right now in blueprint stage, so if you could share your experience in mapping external employees in indirect mapping also I am looking a strategy for mapping external employees / contract employees in the system.

Thanks

Hi Mathews,

Its basically a HR work they have to create a new employee group for contractors create a personnel no. assign this employee group created for contractors. assign position etc., an HR guy could tell you more on this.

rest the indirect assignment would be the same there is no any difference between the indirect assignment for direct employee and external contractor it is the same assign roles to position  and then run the report which will push the role to user master record.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Dheeraj.

Hi,

Depending on the personal numbers you can distinguish the contractors and Permanent employees.

for ex: permanent employees number starts with "1", contractors with 2 like that.

You can use PA30 and PO13 transactions to assign the roles to the user position and set a back ground job which can assign the roles to user profiles over night.

Thanks,

Sankar.
