Using authorization types, you can specify the maintenance authorizations for accounts, conditions, payment orders, payment items, standing orders and checks (cheques) depending on the available fields of the respective object.

In addition to the authorization objects predefined in the system that relate to a predefined attribute, there are special authorization objects that you can adapt to suit your individual requirements. You can differentiate all objects flagged as authorization object with 'free attributes' by using what we call authorization types. You can use any of the fields in the application as basis for an authorization. Refer to the F4 help for details of the possible fields.

Example

If you wish to restrict editing of an account at product level, you can create an authorization type for the authoriaztion object Account_Attribute that relates to the field "Product" on the account.

Contrary to the supplied authorization objects, an authorization object with "free attributes" consists of the activity and two possible fields. This means you can also represent complex combinations. You can specify, for example, that a user is only allowed to edit accounts for the product 'Checking - private' whose account description starts with certain letters.

Activities

Creation of the authorization types is already divided into authorization types for the areas account, conditions, payment order, payment item, standing orders and checks (cheques). You can find the authorization types for the business partner in the Implementation Guide (IMG) of the SAP business partner .

This means that the authorization type you create relates to the appropriate authorization object ("free attributes" for account, conditions and so on).

Use of the authorization types is optional.

Whereas the authorization group represents a fixed field in the master record, (account, for example), if you use authorization types you can specify any fields and make the assignment of authorizations dependent on the contents of those fields.

  1. Choose an authorization type.
    Despite what the note says, you neither need to select the authorization objects in the displayed sequence, nor do you need to select them all.
  2. Create an authorization type. As name it is advisable to choose the name of the attribute to which the authorization type relates ("Product as free attribute", for example).
  3. Switch the authorization type to "active".
  4. Specify up to 2 screen fields to which you wish to relate. The F4 help provides you with a selection of all possible fields.
  5. Save your entries.

Further notes

You can find introductory explanations on the structure of an authorization object in the documentation on the creation of authorizations. (You can consider an authorization as a characteristic value of an authorization object).
