Question:
Can anyone help me to understand something about the workings of SU24 please. If you look at tcode FB12, SAP defaults are set to have one object check/maintain and a whole bunch of basis ones ( S_DATASET, S_DEVELOP, S_DOKU_AUT, S_SCRP_TXT, S_SPO_DEV, S_TABU_DIS, S_TCODE ) set to Check.
Where can I find what values are required by the program for the tcode to run without an authorization error ?
Many Thanks,
Bridget
Answer:
This is where your testing comes in on projects. Create a test user with access to this transaction and work with application to test. You can also use ST01 and review the auth. Auth vary from company to company depending on the config you have put in place. ie for one company you need the auth because auth groups (example) has been configured wheras another company has not configured this so SAP does not check the object.All your in scope txn should be tested and you can even further restrict the object based on your company design (eg access to certain plants.

Thank you but I'm working in a live environment and don't have the luxury of time or test plans. If I knew where to find the information I need that would help a lot. Are you telling me it's in config ? If so where ?
If I look at ST01, that still isn't going to tell me where the values are coming from ...
Answer:
Your live system should have a corresponding Development, QA, And/or Test environment. Your roles should be single sourced from a development system and transported. the deleopment system is where you test and run the ST01 to see what objects are encountered.
MAny of the objects in SU24 are meaningless to the actual business process you are trying to control, but can be enncountered based on the options you choose or are in blocks of code the tcode you are trying to control will never reach.
In other words, there is no real answer or source except the ST01 based on the path you take in the tcode and partially based on the configuration..

Thank You. So the only way to find out is with a trace. Any ABAPers out there know any different ?

IIRC John is an ABAPer.
ST01 is the best way to find out unless you want to go through the code line by line to see what is checked. This method would likely miss a few S_ objects called. Trace is far easier.

Thanks for all the replies. I thought my method was too off the wall to be right ! Oh well.
