Users are not able to edit projects even with right permissions

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have a weird issue. Your help or inputs is appreciated.

A user is not able to edit projects in SAP PPM 50 unless 1)the project is created by the user and 2)user has access to ACO_SUPER auth object. For the projects, the user is trying to edit, we made sure user has write ACL access in the administration tab of the project.

Obviously, we can't give all users ACO_SUPER access. Please advise how to proceed.

Thanks in advance

Hi Pranith,

You are right..ACO_SUPER is not recommended for all users, it's an super user access.

In PPM-Project management, there are two authorizations

1) General Authorizations

2) Project Specific authorizations

General authorizations:

This is provided to user using a backend PFCG roles like 'SAP_CPR_USER' which contains business partner view access and other similar roles are assigned for project creation, template creation etc.,

Project Specific authorizations:

This authorizations are provided using ACL 'Authorizations' tab within the project and here you have different authorisation activities like admin, write, read & none.

As you said, the user who creates the project will get 'Admin' authorization and after that if you want give access to other users, then you need to add manually users in the project definition-authorisation tab or you can provide default authorization through project role type.

Have you added the users manually in authorisation tab?

Hi Ravi,

For some reason, I didn't get any alert for your above reply. That's why I couldn't reply to you sooner.

Yes, the users are added to authorizations tab with write access. Yet, user is not able to edit the project.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Regards,

Pranith.

Hi Pranith,

Can you share some more info..

1) Whether authorisations added manually is at project definition level?

2) What error you get while the user tries to open the project?

If possible, share some screenshots.

Hi Ravi,

Yes, authorizations are added at the project definition level. User doesn't get any error. Even though the user is in edit mode, the fields are grayed out.

Attached is the screenshot of the user.

Hi Pranith,

Everything is alright but some weird issue. Better to raise an OSS message to SAP.
