Documentation

Definition

Authorization group to which the program is assigned.

The assignment of a program to an authorization group plays a role when the system checks whether the user is authorized to:

• Execute a program

  --> Authorization object S_PROGRAM

• Edit a program (-Include) in the ABAP Workbench

  --> Authorization object S_DEVELOP

Programs that are not assigned to an authorization group are not protected against display and execution.
Security-related programs should, therefore, always be assigned to an authorization group.

Report RSCSAUTH can also be used to assign programs to authorization groups. This report is documented in detail.

Supplementary Documentation - SECU 0001

Use

In the reporting tree, you can assign an authorization group to each node, so that only users with the appropriate authorization have access.
