Authority check for substitution

[patrick.j.de-valensart@gskbio.com]

Hi Zsolt,

Unfortunately there isn't any authorization object on substitution.

This being said, which release are you on? If you are on NW2004s there is
a BADI (WF_SUBSTITUTE) that allows you to control substitution. So you
could place an authority check on a custom authorization object there.
Otherwise the only possibilities are:
1. Never tell your users about the substitution functionality and cross
fingers hoping that no one finds it.
2. Joke a part, you can check in the workflow definition itself that the
user actually executing the workitem is either (one of) the selected
agent(s), either one of his authorized substitute as per your customer
requirements (you'll probably have to create a Z table containing list of
users authorized to have substitutes or something like that).
You can do that with secondary method for example. Of course depending on
the number of workflows concerned this might be heavy to implement but it
is the only solution.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Patrick

Authority check for substitution
Hi all,

I have an issue regarding personal substitution for wf users: my customer
wants to allow only predefined substitution for certain users. But in SBWP
you can create substitutes without any control.

My tought is to maintain the HRUS_D2 with a developed program and allow
only the activate/deactivate/adopt substitution functionality for the
users. But I have difficulties because I can't find any authority object
for substitutions in SBWP.

Is there any or I have to give up my "splendid idea"?

Thanks in advance
Zsolt
