cFolder authorization issues

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am facing issues with cFolders.This is an urgent requirement, please help me resolve the issues.Following are the requirement and the solution which I have tried.

Requirement:

-

---

A user (who is neither a buyer/purchaser nor a vendor) has to be priovided authorization to view but not edit any public/private folders.

Solution :

-

---

In SE37 I tried testing the Function modules CFX_ACO_API_ACTIVITIES_SET and RESET.

Testing was done using:

1. From transaction BBP_PD using BUS220 and the Bid

invitation number I retrieved the GUID of the collaboration

link.

2. Then I retrieved Public Area Id(also tried with COL_ID in

the function module) from CFX_COL table using COL_ID

= GUID(as mentioned above).

3. RFC destination created for cFolders

4. Appended the values for the table I_USER_ACTIVITIES

by giving the user id and 'no_auth'/read/write(tried all the

three authority options one by one).

There was no error message but it did not succeed in changing the authorization.

Thanks,

Swar.

Hi Vysa,

For that you Can create the user with the user role

SAP_CFX_USER

And assign that user to public/private folders which you want to give access and give him read authorization.

for more detail authorization go through link

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ppm450/helpdata/en/43/054880bbe822f5e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm

you can give the authorization using front end

step 1)click on setting on right side of screen and then

select the tab page ROLE

and assign the role SAP_CFX_USER

and then

Click Folder>Authorizations>Add

Give only 'View/read authorization to user

step 2) other way by using T CODE SU01 OR PFCG with help of basis team .

thanks

Hi,

You can do it from cFolders front end.

If you want user to have authorizations to view a particualr folder, do the following

Click Folder>Authorizations>Add

Give only 'View' authorization to user

Reward points if useful
