Hi Jocelyn,

I have tried with an SAP user not allowed to access to activity 25
related to authorization object S_WF_WI ... but this user is still
able to forward his work item within SAP Office.
A deeper investigation (with the help of debug tool) seems to reveal that
no authority check is made for this object on the value 25 :
   when a forward action is requested
   when the user arrives in the Workflow folder

I have found one function module which does this expected authority-check : it
is within SWW_WI_AGENTS_CHANGE_S (then within SWW_WI_USER_MAY_CHANGE_S) but this
function module does not seem to be called by many programs.

Best regards

Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,
Don't have access to a 4.5B system at the moment but, from memory, yes
this option should be there in earlier releases.
Regards,
Jocelyn.

Hi Jocelyn,

Related to point b), are we talking about the same R/3 version ?
Our version is R/3 4.5B.

Hi Fabrice,
Don't forget SAPoffice also includes ordinary email.  You don't want
forwarding
turned off for that I presume?

Workitem forwarding can be controlled by:
a) Task attributes in the Agent Assignment maintenance screen, e.g.
mark each task as "General forwarding not allowed".
b) Users can be prevented from forwarding by setting their authorisations
appropriately, i.e. NOT giving them access to activity 25 (change agent
required
for forwarding) of authorisation object S_WF_WI (workflow workitem handling)

This setting should stop them being able to access the forwarding function
for
workitems, i.e. the forwarding option should be greyed out or hidden when in
that workitem.

I assume you've tried both of these?
Are they not working as you expect?

Hello,

no authorizations handles this.
According to SAP, there is no possibility to disable the forward function.
Therefore, if we want to disable it, we have to modify the standard R/3
code.
As I don't really like this kind of solution, I was thinking about using
field exit
tool on the screen managing the forward function.
What do you think about it ? I know that field exits are not adviced in most
of cases but
if it can avoid a core code modification ...

In advance, thank you
Regards.

Hi,

We are developping WorkFlows on Accounts payables process and there is
a special need that we can't fix at present :
 we want to prevent all users from forwarding Workflow messages.
 Is there a standard solution to disable forwarding option in Sap Office?

Thanks in advance

Fabrice
