2766198 - SAP_WFRT Authorization Issues With Custom Logic

Custom logic implementation fails for SAP_WFRT user due to authorization issues.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

1. Go to the Custom Fields and Logic app
2. Create new custom logic for an implementation that will use the workflow user SAP_WFRT
• Examples are Workflow Agent Determination
• The Custom Logic will have a SELECT statement to get data from a CDS view
3. Test the logic, which will be successful
4. Now when the logic is actually being called (example of creating a new purchase requisition) the logic may fail

The business user testing the logic had authorization to select data from a CDS View, but the SAP_WFRT user does not have authorization.

In this case adding WITH PRIVILEGED ACCESS to the SELECT statement will allow the logic to succeed.

As an example for I_ProfitCenter it would look like:
SELECT SINGLE profitctrresponsibleuser FROM I_ProfitCenter WITH PRIVILEGED ACCESS INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF [ ... ]
