  • Key Concepts: 
    Role-based access management (RBAC) is a security model used in SAP systems to control user access to system functions. It is based on the concept of assigning roles to users, which define the tasks and functions they can perform. In SAP, RBAC is implemented through the BC-SEC-USR User Administration component. 
    
    How to use it: 
    In order to use RBAC, administrators must first create roles and assign them to users. This can be done through the BC-SEC-USR User Administration component. Once roles are assigned, users will only be able to access the functions and tasks associated with their role. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating roles, it is important to ensure that each role has a clear purpose and that users are only assigned roles that are relevant to their job. This will help ensure that users only have access to the functions they need and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
