Authorization Objects in Funds Management 

Definition

Element in the authorization concept.

Use

You can use authorization objects to define complex authorizations. An authorization object comprises up to 10 authorization fields which complement each other. The system uses them to determine whether a user may carry out a particular action.

The user may do so if he or she is authorized for each field in the object.

For an example of how an authorization object is used, see Example: Funds Center Authorization
