 Authorization Holder Types

You use the following authorization holder types when assigning authorizations in SAP Easy Document Management:

  • User

    You select one or more users and assign them the required authorizations.

  • User group

    You select one or more user groups. A user group can consist of multiple users and/or user groups. All users in a user group are given the same authorizations for a particular object. User groups can have different authorizations.

  • Role

    You select one or more roles and assign them the required authorizations. As a result, each user to which the selected role has been assigned has the corresponding authorizations.

    Note Note

    The system always uses the more comprehensive authorizations. If a user has read authorization but write authorization is assigned to the user’s role, the user automatically has write authorization for the object.

    End of the note.
