• Key Concepts: 
  Instance-based restriction is a feature of the SAP Data Control Language (BC-SEC-DCL) that allows administrators to restrict access to certain objects or data within an SAP system. This restriction is based on the instance of the object or data, meaning that different users can have different levels of access depending on the instance they are accessing. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use instance-based restriction, administrators must first define the instances they want to restrict access to. This can be done by creating a list of instances and assigning each instance a unique identifier. Once the instances have been defined, administrators can then assign access rights to each instance. This can be done by assigning users or groups of users different levels of access depending on the instance they are accessing. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up instance-based restrictions, it is important to ensure that all instances are properly identified and that access rights are assigned correctly. It is also important to keep track of which users have access to which instances, as this will help ensure that only authorized users have access to restricted data.
