Mass change of single authorization object in more than 400 Roles

[former_member190076]

Hi,

We want to mass change the value of an authorization object which is present in more than 400 roles. Has anyone done this using ecatt, LSMW or any other method?

Kind Regards

Hi,

there are some function modules that you could look into to see how you can change one value. I also want to mention that maybe manually changing 400 roles takes same/less time as trying to figure out and test this automatic solution. Unless you need to do this more often.

Agree, 2 minutes per change = 13h of manual activity.

Hello,

Did you check t-code PFCGMASSVAL for mass role change ? Note 1842231

Thanks

Hi,

thanks for sharing this note. It's always nice to realize that SAP still invests into platform. A bonus point for SAP that they provide reusable API so customer can build their solutions on top of it.

Thanks for sharing. Applying this note certainly creates provision for mass updating authorization objects.

Hi Mohsin

Are these imparting or derived roles? What object are you needing to change?

Just wondering if the update to 400 is the required solution

Hi

I just found this thread and tried running PFCGMASSVAL and it can do some roles but seems to give an error for others saying Authorisation data for role needs to be merged.

Is there any way to stop this occurring apart from merging objects please?

Kind regards

Hi

The solution was to create a quick LSMW to go into the role and merge if errors occurred. We have 740 and 750 and the 750 version is even better with more options.

What a brilliant piece of kit - thanks SAP!

Kind regards
