ESS & MSS Access Issues

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to provide access for users to ESS and MSS. I can not seem to build appropriate authorisation within my R/3 (ABAP) roles to provide access.

The users has versions of roles;

SAP_ESSUSER_ERP

SAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP_GB_ERP

And I have made sure that specific Auth Objects have full authorisation for the time being such as;

S_SERVICE

P_PERNR

The role also includes some WEBDYNPRO external services;

Service - WEBDYNPRO sap.com/mss~eepro/EmployeeProfile_AllConfig

Service - WEBDYNPRO sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/XssMenuArea

Service - WEBDYNPRO sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/XssMenu

But I still cant see anything when I view MSS or ESS tabs.

Can anyone provide any details regarding the correct authorisations to be able to access ESS & MSS without the use of SAP_ALL.

Many Thanks

Ian

hi ian,

does assigning SAP_ALL to your testuser actually solve your problem?

perhaps a trace can give you (and us) some more insight?

good luck,

Hi Dimitri,

Yes applying SAP_ALL does resloved my issue but I was not aware a trace would pick anything up? Are you refering to ST01 tracing? Should that work when accessing things on the portal?

Many thanks

yes, I was referring to the ST01 trace and this will pick the authorization-checks up when executing ESS/MSS apps on the portal side.

let us know what you find out!

Dimitri,

Thanks for your help that worked a treat! It was mainly lacking RFC authoirsation so I provided this and I can now access all the areas that I require.

Thanks again

Ian,

A few things to check for:

1. Roles SAP_ESSUSER_ERP & SAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP_GB_ERP are delivered roles that still needto be generated. Make sure your Authorizations tab is Green.

2. ESS - is mainly based on auth object P_PERNR. Make sure that your user has a valid Info Type 105 Subtype 0001. The user ID should match IT105, ST0001.

Let me know if you want me to eloborate.
