What is extended authorization check in SAP BC-SEC-USR - User Administration?

SAP Term: extended authorization check

• Component: BC-SEC-USR

• Component Name: User Administration

• Description: Authorization check used by role-based authorization management RBAM. By default, the system uses RBAM privileged mode when performing authorization checks, meaning calls from business objects to further business objects or services are executed without performing authorization checks for the nested calls. If the extended authorization check is activated for a business object, the system also performs an authorization check for the nested call.

• Key Concepts: 
  Extended authorization check is a feature of the BC-SEC-USR User Administration component of SAP. It is used to check the authorization of a user for a particular transaction or activity. It is an additional layer of security that ensures that only authorized users can access certain functions or data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The extended authorization check is enabled by setting up an authorization object in the system. This object contains the authorization data that will be checked when a user attempts to access a certain transaction or activity. The authorization object can be set up to allow or deny access based on certain criteria, such as user group, user role, or other parameters. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an authorization object, it is important to ensure that the criteria used are appropriate for the transaction or activity being accessed. For example, if a user needs to access sensitive data, it may be necessary to set up an authorization object that requires a higher level of security than would be necessary for a less sensitive transaction.
