ETYMOD and User Rights

In ETYMOD and a variety of other central transactions, a number of preparations have been made for the implementation stage to enable users to be assigned various reading and editing rights in their work with different entities.

User

To be able to assign various reading/writing rights to a user for different entities, a multivalent rights flag has been introduced in the USR table.

Options are:

User/entity management transactions (DBxUSR and DBxETY) are then extended to enable a list of administrators to be easily displayed for each entity. On top of this, on display are also the entities that can be accessed together with the rights within an entity.

Transaction

In transactions that contain an ETYMOD, the type of transaction is normally set by the BUT modules (RPTBUT, INFBUT).

The options for the TRNFLG flag in ETYMOD include:

Providing no additional rights have been entered in the USR table, during the implementation stage normal, info and report transaction defaulting is extended to include the data from all visible entities.

Selection

Selection options in universal transactions are as follows:

Valid in Transaction Type Checkbox Combobox German English
All X Aktuelle Entity Current Entity
Normal X X Alle verarbeitbaren Entities All Processable Entities
Info/Report X X Alle auswertbaren Entities All Analyzable Entities
Administration X X Alle administrierbaren Entities All Administrable Entities
All X Ausgewählte Entity Selected Entity
All X Ausgewählte Entitygruppe Selected Entity Group

Panel

Two different selection panels can be added on to the application panel.

  1. A single-line panel that contains a checkbox describing the maximum value in words
  2. A two-line panel containing two comboboxes one above the other. The upper combobox describes the value range required. The lower combobox allows the selection of those entities/entity groups selected (corresponds roughly to the USFMOD assembly panel, not yet implemented).
