Its weekend again and time to share all knowledge I learned over the week. I know this topic that I will discuss today would be beneficial to my fellow ABAP developers specially when they dont have the SAP_ALL authorizations. For the sake of everyone, SAP_ALL authorizations is an authorization provided to a user in which he can access all standard tcodes of SAP system. So whether this is a functional or technical tcode, it is possible to access.
However, in an environment of a multinational company, this authorization is NOT permitted. As a developer, you are only given the access of all tcodes related to development like, SE38 (ABAP Editor), SE24 (Class Editor), SE37 (Function Module Editor) and other tcode related to development.
Now the issue is, how about if I want to access a particular tcode which is not related to ABAP Development? Let say, SU01, User Maintenance? But when I access it, I got this message "You are not authorized to access"? So in case you encounter it, what will you do?
Do you have any idea to by-pass the authorization set to your user account? Or will you ask your Basis people to grant you an access to this transaction code? How about if they denied your request?
Dont worry now as the pain is over. Well, in this tutorial, I will discuss with you on how to access any SAP Tcodes even you don't have any authorizations.Yes, you are right. We will by-pass the that authorization limiting you to access a particular tcode. The only requirement here is you must have an access to SE38 and you have the role S_DEVELOP. Since you will be creating a new program which we will call, ZTCODE. :)
First thing, create an ABAP program. Then copy this program below. It is just a 12 liner program. A simple one.
Once you are done, save and activate your program. The secret here is be sure to create a customized transaction code for this program. Let say, ZTCODE. Otherwise, you can't access that particular tcode you want to view. Clear?
Result:
Initially, I can't access SU01.
But after I created this program, I activated and ran it.
And voila, I can now access SU01 without the BASIS people. :)

You might be able to access the transactions but you will still not be able to do everything inside the transaction.
ReplyDeleteThanks gert for your comment. Yeah you are right that this is only in display mode. But my point here is to view what is inside that particular tcode.. let say what is your role... anyhow, i will make another blog on how to edit your role so you can do as normal.
ReplyDeleteHello, One still need to register as a developer wit Online Service System (OSS), right? And need to get an access key to do ABAP development? Any idea/s there? Thanks anyways.
ReplyDeleteHi Ranbir. Yes, ABAP developers key is generated online. You need to register in SAP marketplace.
