Authorization object S_ARCHIVE checks the authorization to carry out various archiving object programs. The Archive Development Kit (ADK) performs the check when an archive file is opened for one of the following actions:
Write
Delete
Read
Reload
The following authorizations can be given per archiving object and solution (such as SAP Financials or SAP Human Capital Management):
Everything is permitted
Write, read, and reload archives; execute delete programs; change mode in archive management (notes)
Change mode in archive management
Maintain notes
Read and analyze archives and display mode in archive management
Furthermore, you need the S_DATASET authorization to read and write data. There may also be additional access authorization checks for specific application components.
