Authorization Management
Use
The authorizations are maintained in authorization management. You
create roles there, which contain the individual authorizations. There are
roles,
authorization profiles and
authorization objects specifically for SAP Business Workflow. These can be used for creating your own roles. For more information, see
BC - Users and Roles.You can also use the structural authorization check in Organizational Management.

Structural authorizations
You can use the structural authorizations in Organizational Management to perform an additional, client-specific authorization check for displaying and processing Organizational Management objects (for example, task or multistep task as cover for workflow). You can specify which Organizational Management objects individual SAP System users can process in which clients.
Since workflows are cross-client, they can normally be processed by all authorized users. You can use structural authorizations to restrict workflows (or the underlying multistep tasks) so that they can only be processed in certain clients.
