Use

In the AUTHP field, you have to define the characteristics for the personnel number check.

The following values are possible:

  • O ... The employee's own personnel number only
  • E ... All personnel numbers except the employee's own
  • * ... All personnel numbers

If the authorizations in the AUTHP field have value O or E, the user name/personnel number assignment in HR infotype 0105 (Communication), subtype 0001 (system user name of SAP System) must be defined.

Example

Examples for characteristics of AUTHP:

  • O Decentralized concept:
    For the user with this characteristic, the authorization only applies
    for his own personnel number.
  • E Department office:
    For the user with this characteristic, the authorization applies for
    all personnel numbers except his own.
  • * Central concept:
    For the user with this characteristic, the authorization applies for
    all personnel numbers.

Important

Please assign the necessary authorizations for all other fields. In the case of value 'O', it is simpler to enter '*' in the fields for the employee's organizational assignment (that is, all fields except AUTHC).
