CTS uses the authorization concept provided by SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP. Therefore, the recommendations and guidelines for authorizations as described in the SAP NetWeaver AS Security Guide ABAP also apply to CTS.

The SAP NetWeaver authorization concept is based on assigning authorizations to users based on roles. To create and edit roles, use the profile generator (transaction PFCG) on AS ABAP. Assign the roles that correspond with the requirements of the tasks that users must perform.

Alternatively, if the roles do not suit your requirements, you can run an authorization trace to find out which authorizations are needed by your users. For more information, see Analyzing Authorizations using the System Trace.
