Authorization Checks in Updates

This rule was not always applied before ABAP release 7.54:
- The statement AUTHORITY-CHECK made no authorization checks in update sessions but always set sy-subrc to 0 here.
- The statement AUTHORITY-CHECK made an authorization check In local updates,
- When using ABAP SQL to access a CDS entity for which a CDS role is defined, implicit CDS access control was applied by default in update sessions and in local updates.
From ABAP release 7.54, the following applies to update sessions and to local updates:
- In updates, the statement AUTHORITY-CHECK does not make any authorization checks but sets the value sy-subrc always to 0.
- In updates, CDS access control is not allowed. If the ABAP SQL statement SELECT is used during an update to access a CDS entity for which access control is not disabled, the runtime error SYSTEM_UPDATE_TASK_ILL_STMT occurs. Access control can be disabled as follows:
  In the CDS entity: Using the value #NOT_ALLOWED for the annotation @AccessControl.authorizationCheck.
  
  In ABAP SQL: Using the addition WITH PRIVILEGED ACCESS in the FROM clause.
