SAP Basis critical object : S_TMS_ACT

Definition
TemSe manages objects with temporary, sequential data. The authorization S_TMS_ACT controls who is allowed to perform which operations on which TemSe objects. Caution: The authorizations only control direct access. For example, the spooler or background request management in the R/3 software system use TemSe for storing data. In such cases the TemSe objects are normally well protected against direct accesses because they perform their own software system access checks and want to maintain control.

Defined fields

Each authorization object consists of three fields: STMSOBJECT - Generic object name TemSe objects have names. Here the name is specified partly generically (i.e. with an asterisk ("*") at the end if necessary). TemSe objects can have any names. However, naming conventions are used, which are also defined in table "TST07". The spooler, for example, currently uses "SPOOLnnnnn", where nnnnn is the spool request number. STMSOWNER - Owner group OWN Own TemSe objects GRP External TemSe objects in own clients OCL TemSe objects in external clients STMSACTION - Abbreviation for action CRE Create TemSe object REA Read TemSe object DEL Delete TemSe object APP Append TemSe object MOD Modify TemSe object. This currently only applies to attributes, as the data of the TemSe objects cannot be changed in the current version.
