许多客户迁移到 SAP S/4HANA 后，经常询问如何配置业务合作伙伴相关的权限问题。 在此基础上，我总结了一份关于如何处理业务合作伙伴的权限问题和一些常见场景的简短指南。 SAP 业务合作伙伴常见权限对象的简短描述 权限对象：B_BUPA_GRP – 权限组。使用此权限可根据权限组定义可以编辑哪些业务伙伴。 权限对象：B_BUPA_ATT – 权限类型。使用此权限对象，您可以在业务伙伴维护中为任意数量的输入字段定义权限。您可以根据字段值确定可以维护哪些业务合作伙伴。在定制中，您定义权限类型并指定应检查的字段的名称。 权限对象：B_BUPA_FDG – 字段组。使用此权限对象，您可以在业务伙伴维护中为各个字段组定义权限。 因此，您可以定义用户可以获取或查看业务伙伴维护中的哪些字段。 权限对象：B_BUPA_RLT – BP 角色。使用此权限对象，您可以定义可以编辑的 BP 角色。 常见权限对象的使用方法 权限对象：B_BUPA_FDG 用户可以对 BP 屏幕中的字段强制执行权限。 例如，即使在业务伙伴的更改模式下，用户也可以将屏幕上的特定字段设置为仅显示。 在 BP 屏幕中将字段first name设置为仅显示的步骤如下： 执行t-code BUCN，注册需要指定权限的字段组。在我们的示例中，字段组是first name（字段编号：25)。 选择“New Entries”并添加字段名称并保存。 现在已经为权限检查注册了字段组。 从 PFCG 导航到“Change Authorization Data”中的“Change Roles”。 导航到“Cross-Application Authorization Objects”，然后导航到“Business Partner: Field Groups”。 编辑Activity并选择“显示”，然后单击“保存”。如果权限应适用于所有“活动”和“字段组”，则可以选择“*” 选择“field group for....
