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.
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
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.
