GUI Scripting - Blocking The Recording

Former Member

Dear, we have the profile parameter    sapgui/user_scripting enabled. But we would like to restrict the recording of the scripts only to specific users it means all users in our system can run recorded script but only a few users can run and record new scripts, how we can handle that? Thank you

Hi Shiva, try to restrict access to GUI scripting by authorization object S_SCR. Users who should be able to run it should have ACTVT = 16.

Let us know if it helps.

Hi Alexander, this will not fix what we are looking for. This will restrict both running and recording the scripts, we want just to restrict recording

There is no standard profile parameter to restrict the 'recording' only option for users.

Mostly IT ,SAP consultants only technically know about this scritpting and will be using it. Users should have appropriate authorization to the tcodes/programs/etc to which they can do scripting , and record file will be created in their local machine. In my view , no harm to enable it in system wide with user speicific(S_SCR)

Otherwise ,You need go for custom arrangement . you may check with ABAP whther any custom obejct can be placed to allow users for script recording.

Thanks,Krishna
