Access to a master record may be restricted. One reason for this might be to protect master data from unauthorized changes.
Authorization can be assigned for the following editing functions:
Create
Change
Display
Example
All employees can display the G/L account master records, but only a limited number of people may create or change them.
The authorizations for editing G/L account master records are set in your user master record.
To restrict access to a G/L account master record, enter a key in the
Authorization
field in the company code area of the master record.
You have to define authorizations before you can limit access to a G/L account master record. You can find these settings in Financial Accounting Customizing under
