## Enabling SAP GUI Scripting

In order to enable Studio to interact with SAP WinGUI, you need to perform the following configurations steps on the server side and the client side. This enables the default and recommended element detection framework **SAP** for interactive selection.

:::note
In relation to any security concerns, the SAP server sees no difference between SAP WinGUI communication generated by a script and the one generated by a user. The script has the same rights to run SAP transactions and enter data, just like a user would.
:::

### On the Server Side

1. Launch `saplogon.exe`, log in to your SAP server using your credentials. The **SAP Easy Access** window is displayed.
2. Run transaction `RZ11`. Specify the parameter name `sapgui/user_scripting` and press **Enter** on the keyboard or **Display** in the SAP interface.

   :::note
   In case your organisation is using more than 1 instance of an SAP system, do not forget to activate the checkbox “Switch on all servers” to ensure a proper activation of SAP scripting across all servers.
   :::
Depending on the SAP server version, the following parameters may be set to **TRUE** by default. In this case, change their value to **FALSE**.
   * `sapgui/nwbc_scripting`
   * `sapgui/user_scripting_disable_recording`
   * `sapgui/user_scripting_force_notification`
   * `sapgui/user_scripting_per_user`
   * `sapgui/user_scripting_set_readonly`
     :::important
     All changes to parameters in transaction `RZ11` are applied with immediate effect and are lost when the system restarts. For changes to be permanent, please contact your SAP System Administrator and use transaction `RZ10`.
     :::
4. Log off and back on again for the changes to take effect.

### On the Client Side

1. Access the **Options** menu from the Main SAP Logon window.
2. Go to **Accessibility & Scripting** and click on **Scripting**.
3. Check the **Enable scripting** option.
4. Clear the checkboxes for the following options:
   * **Notify when a script attaches to SAP GUI**
   * **Notify when a script opens a connection**
5. Save the changes by clicking **OK**. The SAP WinGUI scripting is now enabled.

## Enabling Modal Dialog Boxes

Control (amodal) display options are not supported by SAP scripting. In this case Dialog (modal) display options need to be enabled, and this is done as follows:
   
   ![docs image](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/activities/activities-docs-image-167521-fff7d017.gif)
   
1. From the **SAP Easy Access** window, click **Settings** under the **Help** menu. The **Personal Settings for User** window is displayed.
2. Access the **F1 Help** tab and select the **in Modal Dialog Box** option from the **Display** section.
3. Access the **F4 Help** tab and select the **Dialog (modal)** option from the **Display** section.
4. Click the **Apply** button to save changes and close the **Personal Settings for User** window.
      :::note
      This is a per-user setting. This configuration needs to be set for each client which creates SAP automation. The default setting to Dialog (modal) for the entire system can be configured by the system administrator.
      :::
## Authorization Rights

The authorization rights verification or settings need to be performed only if the `sapgui/user_scripting_per_user` parameter is set to `True`.

SAP GUI Scripting is only available for those users that have the authorization for the `Execute(16)` action of the authorization object `S_SCR` in class `BC_A`.

Please speak to your SAP System Administrator and ensure that the user has appropriate authorization rights.
