HR Security Authorizations


Introduction on Authorizations

·  Authorization objects enable complex checks of an authorization, which allows a user to carry out an action. An authorization object can group up to 10 authorization fields that are checked in an AND relationship.

·  For an authorization check to be successful, all field values of the authorization object must be maintained accordingly. The fields in an object should not be seen as input fields on a screen. Instead, fields should be regarded as system elements, such as infotypes, which are to be protected.

·  You can define as many system access authorizations as you wish for an object by creating a number of allowed values for the fields in an object. These value sets are called authorizations. The system checks these authorizations in OR relationships.
