Symptom

Key word:T055 Fields are assigned to field groups by table T055 and T055G. In addition, authorizations are created and assigned to users. However "although users are not assigned the authorization, thay can change the fields anyway". (Authorization object F_LFA1_AEN; F_KNA1_AEN)

Other Terms

SAPMF02K, SAPMF02D XK02, MK02, FK02, XD02, VD02, FD02 OB30, OBAU T055, T055G F_KNA1_AEN, F_LFA1_AEN

Reason and Prerequisites

Customer misunderstood the concept. Precisely those fields requiring protection must be assigned to field groups. This means when a field has not been assigned to any field group, it will not be protected.The default is: no fields are assigned, all fields can be changed. Example: You assign field LFA1-BRSCH to field group 01. This means: Users without authorization F_LFA1_AEN for field group 01 can no longer change this field, but only display it. Users with authorization F_LFA1_AEN for field group 01 can change this field. However, if field LFA1-BRSCH is NOT assigned to ANY field group, all users can change this field. Please also read Note 393341 "Problems with the field control of the address fields".

Solution

Assign the fields requiring protection to field groups, and not vice versa.
