Assign authorization group to tables under SDIC class

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

we have some tables under Authorization class SDIC which are neither assigned to any authorization group nor &NC&.

Can we assign these tables to customized Z authorization group? and is there any impact if we assign these standard tables to customized authorization group.

Thanks,

Krishna

Krishna,

I am not totally clear about what's the objective here but you can check table TDDAT for the tables in question, if the tables are not showing up (very rare but I have seen it), it is safe to assume that assigning access to the authorization group &NC& will provide access to these tables also.

&NC& means non classified. If you don't assign it then the access is &NC&

There is no need to assign a table to &NC& and really you should assign it to a specific auth group that make sense

As far as impacts go, really depends on how used now. If the table in question is not in an auth group then any users with &NC& in S_TABU_DIS may have access to it now (depends on transaction access). They will lose the access if you add the table.

If you are looking at tables, I would look at trying to remove S_TABU_DIS where possible and replace with S_TABU_NAM. Much more granular.

S_TABU_DIS/S_TABU_NAM is checked only by table display/maintenance transactions like se16/sm30, so assigning them to customer auth group should not impact system directly.

Usually you assign table to auth group only if you want to protect its content  from unauthorized access.

Hi ,

We have assigned required table authorization with S_TABU_NAM authorization object.

Thanks,
