To assign users authorization for specific data entry profiles, you do not have to assign each user all the relevant profiles individually. Instead you can define profile authorization groups and use them to group data entry profiles with common attributes.

Once you have defined the profile authorization groups you require, you assign them to the relevant data entry profiles.

Within the framework of the authorization concept, the profile authorization groups are subtypes of the dummy infotype 0316. You assign these subtypes the authorization to read or enter data using the options provided in Human Resources (HR).
This allows you to specify which data entry profile a specific user may use to enter time sheet data.

Examples

  1. In the profile authorization group 0001, you group profiles which allow users to enter confirmations for Project System.
  2. In the profile authorization group 0002, you group profiles using which no approval procedure is required. Only selected users may use these profiles.
  3. Users with authorization for profile authorization group 0003 may change Customizing settings when they enter time sheet data.

Requirements

  3. Assign the profile authorization groups to the relevant data entry profiles by performing the Maintain Data Entry Profile step.
