Define Maintenance Authorization for a User

This document explains how you define the work order authority level for different users. This is done to limit user access to the work order system.

Use this instruction when you do not want all users to have full access to all maintenance data.

Note: When one user is added to the authority list, all other users must also be defined.

Outcome

The work request authority is defined for all users, which limits their ability to work with work requests.

The information is stored in the work order authorization (MPAUTW) file.

The settings are used by the system and restrict the work request authority per user.

Before you start

The user for whom authority will be defined must first be defined in 'User. Open' (MNS150).

Follow These Steps

Start 'Work Order Authorization. Open' (MOS175/B).
Select an sorting order.
Select a user ID and an authorization level (if sorting order 2 is used), and select New to display the E panel.
On the (MOS175/E) panel, specify an authorization level (when sorting order 1 is used), a signature and a maximum order amount (optional).
Specify the restrictions, if any, per site, order type, facility, warehouse and service group. Also specify whether the selected objects are to be included in or excluded from the user's authority.

If, for example, all fields are left blank and the flag is set to 2, the user will be fully authorized.
Specify whether quick entry is allowed, whether work requests may be released without costing, and whether the user may release work requests.
If the user should not be allowed to release work requests, set a highest work request status for the user. Press Enter to finish.

Parameters to Set


Program ID/Panel	Field	The field indicates …
(MOS175/B)	Authorized	…the name of the user to which give system access will be given.
(MOS175/E)	Authorization level	…the user's authority level. The user can be defined with authority 1 to 9, where 1 is the highest authority.

Users with authority level 2 to 9 are authorized to access and change the authority for users with the same or lower authority levels.
(MOS175/E)	Signature	…a pin code of four alphanumeric characters. The code is used in some programs, for examplesuch as (MOS170), as an override.

Example: If the user is defined with an authority of EUR 100, the system will check that the estimated value of the work request in (MOS170) is less than EUR 100 (materials, labor, etc.). A user cannot release or edit a request that is over his or her budget.
