Authorization Concept (SAP Library - CBI Question & Answer Database)

Authorization Concept

Definition

The authorization concept for the Q&Adb is based on three user access levels, project manager, team lead, team member and read only user. User profiles are created and maintained in the ASAP Admin Tool. These profiles determine which users are authorized to use specific functions.
