How to restrict infotype data from SE16 based on country?

[Former Member]

Hello.

We're a global company and the US organization wants to view infotype data from the PA tables. At the same time, we are not allowed to view data from other countries from these PA tables. Is there a way to restrict the output in SE16 by country code? If not, are there any options we can implement so that we can view the US data from these PA tables?

Thank you.

Hi Ashish

Well you can restrict the view based on the Personnel Area and Personnel Sub area.

You can give authorizations based on the above mentioned parameters. However you wont be able to restrict them using country code.

Reward points, if helpful.

But SE16 doesn't seem to be doing checks on Personnel Area and Subarea. Isn't that applied to user roles so that ABAP programs only extract relevant data for that user? The only authority checks I found for SE16 in the code are:

authority-check object 'S_TABU_DIS'

id 'DICBERCLS' field tddat-cclass

authority-check object 'S_TABU_CLI'

id 'CLIIDMAINT' field 'X'.

So I am not clear how SE16 is restricted by Personnel Area and Subarea.

Thanks,

Hi Ashish,

no because many tables haven't the field country code. So you are not able to see if the data from US or any other country.
