I see the problem but can't advise as that is not the sort of thing I'm good at.
I am good at saying "you should have listened to me." :-)

I've got a problem at my new job with authorities and user profiles. I'm
supposed to be copying the configuration of a SAP system to an upgraded system
(4.7 to ERP6). Besides the security clearance which will take at least another
week and the guy that I am replacing leaving on Tuesday. The access level
supplied (in a copy of the production system) is that of a technician who can
only create work orders but not process them. So how on earth can I see that
happens when I step through the processes to configure them similarly? I might
not last long ;-)

Anyway night, night :)
