Authorization Checks: Example
The authorization object BOM plant (plant allocation) is defined for two users. Both have the value 01 (create and allocate) entered in the Activity field.
However, they have different values for the Plant.
If these two users want to extend the area of validity of a BOM in plant 0001 to include plants 0002 and 0003, the difference takes effect. User A is allowed to make this allocation. User B is not authorized to create BOMs in plants 0002 and 0003, so User B cannot make the allocation.
Additional authorization checks are carried out for engineering change management, document management, and other related application areas. For more detailed information, see the documentation on the individual application concerned.
