The authorization concepts of SAP Fiori applications are based on the authorization mechanisms provided by the SAP NetWeaver ABAP and SAP HANA platform. Therefore, the recommendations and guidelines for user and role administration and authorization for SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP as well as the security guidelines for SAP HANA must be adhered to.

In addition to these general authorization concepts, each type of SAP Fiori app has additional authorization and role concepts to be followed.
