Hi,

you can try transcationvariants..... variant a with all fields for user A, and variant with hidden field(s) for user B.  (...SHD0)

Hi Rajkumar,

If parameter's are being used in your landscape, please check the same. I have controlled the output fields display for reports using su01 parameters in one of my project where parameters were used in SU01 user maintenance.

Thanks

Hi Santosh

I would not recommend restricting access to data based on user parameters as most users require the ability to maintain them via SU3 or SU52 transactions.

Actually, there is one case where this is the only way we've found to protect the Social Security Number field on the PA20 screen. We, and most US HCM customers, have a requirement that this field be hidden from view from all but those in HR who absolutely must see it, but there are others outside of HR who do need access to the personnel record, including the personal data infotype, and the PA20 transaction. Unfortunately, there is no field-level authorization for this infotype, but there is a way to hide the field based upon the UGR parameter. But, for this to be effective, it means you must prevent users from being able to access the User Parameters tab in SU3. It has always felt like a clunky way to achieve something that should be seen as critical.

Dear Santhosh,

I am OK to use SU01 parameters

you are saying use parameter ID and value in SU01 right correct me if i am wrong

if yes, how to find my parameters ID and value  for the field which i want to hide

many thanks

Hi Raj,

One of the best approaches is to create 2 variant transactions(of the original transaction), 1 containing field A and the not containing A. Then create their executable version through SE93.

And, do not provide the original transaction to the users.

Hi Raj,

Yes, i was referring to SU01 parameter. You can search for available parameters from SU01 >> parameters tab.

If there is no relevant parameter available in SU01 then you can get it created as described in below thread but for this your report needs to be custom report.

Thanks,

Santosh
