Authorization Objects in BCV
You can use this function to define complex authorizations. Authorization objects have a structure that defines the activities the user can perform, the type of object they can change, display, and so on. Authorization objects together with the authorization data are grouped together to form an authorization profile.
To display BCV authorization objects, on the SAP Easy Access
screen, choose .
Business Context Viewer (BCV) comes delivered with the following authorization objects:
