Summary :
This SAP Note addresses authorization queries within the Project System module, focusing on transaction codes, authorization checks, and settings across various stages of data handling and user interactions. Initially, the note details how to verify and manage authorizations for transaction codes using SAP Transaction SM31 and checking table TSTC. It explains the timing of authorization checks during master data import and subsequent operations including create, change, and display actions. Authorization checks are centralized in the function group CNAU, with multiple modules named for different project elements (e.g., project definitions and WBS elements). Additionally, the note covers simulation of missing authorizations in the debugger, handling of authorization on customer-specific screens, and considerations for authorization objects and profiles. It underlines the importance of checking authorization at every critical point to ensure proper access control within the SAP environment.
