  • Key Concepts: 
    Authorization check is a process in SAP that verifies whether a user has the necessary authorization to access certain data or perform certain actions. It is part of the BC-SEC-USR User Administration component, which is responsible for managing user access rights and privileges. 
    
    How to use it: 
    The authorization check process is triggered when a user attempts to access a certain piece of data or perform an action. The system will then compare the user's access rights and privileges with the required authorization for the action or data. If the user has the necessary authorization, they will be allowed to proceed; if not, they will be denied access. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    It is important to ensure that users only have access to the data and actions that they need in order to do their job. This can be done by setting up appropriate authorization checks and regularly reviewing user access rights and privileges.
