Caution Caution

The authorization holders to whom you grant authorization for a portfolio object must have at least display authorization. Otherwise, he or she will not be able to open a portfolio element.

End of the caution.

You can assign authorizations for an object or change authorizations. You save your entries by saving the portfolio object.

Note Note

In the authorization holder type Roles, the roles are not the roles you can create yourself in Portfolio Management, but the roles that your system administrator created in SAP authorization management.
