Cannot put in read-only the vendor screen - Authorization

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I would like a role to display in read-only mode the vendor (business partner) screen (BBPMAININT).

I assigned the BBP_PD_VL and BBP_VEND authorization objects with the 'display' attributes but the user still has 'edit' rights on the vendor profile.

What am I missing?

Thanks for your inputs

Hi

I am afraid, it's not possible to make read-only mode using SAP Roles (using PFCG transation and authorization values). BBPMAININT transaction is a Web transaction and is Intended for Edit/Change/Display in same transaction.. and hence cannot be controlled via Authorizations/ Roles.

<u>Anyways, try these pointers -></u>

Note 956723 BBPMAININT:Bus. partner display switches to maintenance mode

Note 825199 Restricting maintenance to own data for 'ext. employees'

Do let me know.

Hi You are right, there is no way.

We removed this transaction from read_only users scope.

Thanks - Points assigned.
