Authorization Management

Use

The authorizations are maintained in authorization management. You create roles there, which contain the individual authorizations. There are roles, authorization profiles, and authorization objects specifically for SAP Business Workflow. These can be used for creating your own roles.

For more information, see BC - Users and Roles.

You can also use the structural authorization check in Organizational Management.

Activities

You should use roles for allocating authorizations. The following roles are available:

Role	Technical name	Explanation
User for communication, workflow, appointments, etc.	SAP_BC_SRV_USER	Authorizations for a workflow agent and basic authorizations for all workflow participants
Business Workflow implementation team	SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_PROCESS	Authorizations for a process consultant
Business Workflow developer	SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_DEVELOPER	Authorizations for a workflow developer
Business Workflow administrator	SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_ADMIN	Authorizations for a workflow system administrator
Business Workflow process controller	SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_CONTROLLER	Authorizations for a process controller

Structural authorizations

You can use the structural authorizations in Organizational Management to perform an additional, client-specific authorization check for displaying and processing Organizational Management objects (for example, task or multistep task as cover for workflow). You can specify which Organizational Management objects individual SAP System users can process in which clients.
