Authorization
Profiles
In this IMG activity you define authorization
profiles or check whether the standard profiles supplied meet your
requirements. In addition, you can gather previously defined profiles in
composite profiles.
A profile contains authorization objects for a delimited working
area.
A composite profile contains several
profiles.
With the help of profiles and composite
profiles, you can easily structure and manage authorizations.
By entering a profile or a composite profile
into the user master, a user receives all authorizations contained in
it.
Requirements
- You have the authorization to create or
maintain profiles.
- Create authorizations in the IMG activity Maintain Authorizations if the standard authorizations do
not meet your requirements.
