Authorization Profiles

In the Authorization Profiles folder you can configure the advanced SmartExporter authorization management.

Settings made in this area will only be applied if the SmartExporter authorization check active option in the Data Dictionary download settings or the SmartExporter authorization profiles active option in the table download settings was selected. These authorizations will be checked by the SmartExporter client before running a Data Request. A Data Request can only be run if the authorization check was completed successfully.

If the SmartExporter authorization profiles active option is selected and no authorization profiles are configured or assigned to the user, the users do not have the authorization to read the tables.

You can also use the User Assignment or the Role Assignment subfolders to assign specific users or groups to the authorization profile.

In the SmartExporter authorization profiles you can restrict the access to tables and the usage of tables in joins by means of the Table Usage and Table Joins subfolders. Besides, in the Table Filter subfolder you can restrict filter values for table fields, for instance company code, to the range of values allowed by the administrator.

Use the Export profile data and Import profile data buttons to import authorization profiles from a template or export authorization profiles as a template for deployment on other systems. The import and export functions are only available in the display mode to ensure the completeness and integrity of the configuration.
