The document management authorization objects are elements of the standard R/3 System authorization concept.

They enable you to use complex authorizations for processing documents and their original application files.

Document processing is organized in accordance with your company’s structure. Master data for all application areas is often created at one central location. Data that is specific to an application area is then added using the Change function.

The authorization system can be set up accordingly. Access authorizations are controlled via various authorization objects.

If you want to link the document to other SAP objects, the system also executes the authorization checks from the appropriate application areas while you are processing.

The authorization objects for documents are assigned to the Document Management object class. Four authorization objects are defined for the Document Management System in the standard system.
