Responsibility maintenance in Prod?

[Van der Burg, Jeroen JA SITI-ITPSEE]

Hi Mike,
 
I am currently experiencing quite a similar situation. Do not really see =
a solution due to the way the current resp functionality is put =
together; it should require another authorisation object. Something that =
will probably work quite well is to give your maintenance users full =
read access to all AC and RY objects but only allow change access to the =
responsibilities numbers (RY's) which they should maintain.
 
You can do this by using RHAUTH00 (using evaluation paths if necessary) =
but as usual there is a catch: a lot of extra maintenance. That is why =
we are not using this at the moment and I am not able to give you any =
real live experiences (the whole idea may not even work through PFAC or =
OOCU_RESP as I haven't tested the concept). Let me know if you have a =
better idea!
 
 
Regards,
 
 
Jeroen

Greetings workflowers,
Question concerning responsibilities: Should they be maintained in a =
production environment?
In the past, I've come across two scenarios, based on the type of key =
used to determine responsibilities:
1. fairly constant data which can be maintained in DEV and transported =
(e.g. plant, country)
2. master data which doesn't necessarily exist in dev (e.g. customer). =
PFAC was opened in producton and the WF admin would maintain the =
responsibilities.
 
Now I have a high-maintenance situation on a 4.6c system where things =
change frequently and people outside of IT are to maintain the =
responsibilities and agent assignments. I notice PFAC has an =
all-or-nothing attitude, thus if we give someone access, they can =
maintain all workflow roles and even change the role/rule type. Is there =
any way to restrict this nicely - Ideally a display mode for PFAC with =
edit facilities for the individual responsibilities would be nice....
 
Any thoughts and opiniions appreciated,
Cheers
Mike
