Finding Profiles with a certain value

[sapnov05]

Hi,

Some of our profiles have gotten messed up as one of the objects (plant) got an incorrect value set in it for authorization - a distortion of the actual plant code. Now, when the users try to do any transaction from that plant, the authorization fails. I need to fix all these profiles...what is the best way to find all the profiles which have this incorrect value in them (by doing a search for that incorrect value)? I tries SUIM but that is not giving me the results...I am able to get the roles which have this incorrect value by doing a search by Field Name in Roles > Roles by Complex Selection Criteria but the same utility is not available in searching for the Profiles by Complex Selection Criteria. I have to fix these profiles and thereby the roles by replacing this incorrect value with the correct one. So how can i go about finding these profiles?

Appreciate any directions?

Many thanks in advance!

I am moving this out of the BASIS forum.

Hi Snowy - where else should I be putting this? It is a BASIS issue relating to user profiles and roles.

Hi

Please could I ask why you are trying to update the profiles directly instead of using PFCG? All the work shoould be done in the profile generator and then generate (PFUD say) to update the profiles otherwise (as far as I understand) you will end up in a mess having roles and profiles out of sync after transporting. Been a while since I accessed SAP so I may be missing the plot unfortunately

The 'moving from BASIS' question I leave to the moderator.

It is a BASIS issue relating to user profiles and roles.

Which makes it a security issue

Answer depends on if it's roles or profiles we are talking about...
For roles, use AGR_1252 to identify any roles with plant ($WERKS) and filter on what you can for naming convention or values.

If purely profiles - which I highly doubt - use UST12

Hope that helps

Either way you can use SUIM and search using the multiple report options there.
