Use
In this workstep, you define authorization groups for digital signatures.
Using authorization groups, you can restrict authorization to execute digital signatures in work instructions as follows:
- You define different authorization groups for users with different task areas.
- In the user master record, you give each user authorization for the authorization group corresponding to his or her task area. (authorization object C_SIGN_BGR).
- You define individual signatures that have to be entered by users belonging to a certain authorization group and use thhem in the signature strategies for work instructions.
The authorization groups are not taken into account in the case of control instruction destinations or work instructions:
- For which you use signatures without passwords or signatures with simple password checks (see Types of Signature)
- In which worksteps or values are signed off with an individual signature without a signagure strategy
Example
In your enterprise, disallowed input values must be signed off by the line operator and the person responsible for the shift. You make the following settings:
- You define the authorization groups OPER (line operator) and RESP (person responsible for shift).
- The line operations receive authorization for the group OPER; the persons responsible for the shifts receive authorization for the group RESP.
- For work instructions, you define two individual signatures, the first being assigned the authorization group OPER and the second the authorization group RESP.

Recommendation
Activities
- Determine which user groups/task areas you have to differentiate between in your enterprise.
- Define an authorization group for each user group.
Further notes
Authorization groups are valid in all areas in which digital signatures are used. Before changing existing authorization groups or using them for your purposes, you should thus ensure that no conflicts of interest with other areas arise.
