Define or change single values and / or value ranges for each field in the object. A user who has these values is authorized to execute the corresponding actions.
The system automatically displays the fields for which you must define values. A description of each field is included in the display so that you can easily identify its functions.
You can display the documentation or possible entries for a field by positioning the cursor on the field and choosing Maintain values or Field documentation. When you maintain values a dialog box appears. Choose the possible entries help (F4) for an overview of the values you can enter here.

Cross-system value ranges: If you have a heterogeneous R/3 environment, you should specify value ranges for numbers and letters separately. Example: A to Z and 0 to 9.
You need to define separate ranges as the values are sorted according to the character set used. To include all numbers and letters in a range, for example, you would need different range definitions in ASCII and EBCDIC systems:
