• Key Concepts: 
  Hold is a feature in SAP BC-SEC Security that allows users to temporarily suspend a user's access to the system. This feature is used to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data or transactions. It can be used to temporarily suspend a user's access while an investigation is conducted or while a user's credentials are being updated. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the hold feature, an administrator must first select the user whose access needs to be suspended. The administrator can then select the “hold” option from the user’s profile page. This will suspend the user’s access until the administrator manually releases it. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the hold feature, it is important to remember that it only suspends a user’s access and does not delete their account. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to protect the user’s data and transactions while their access is suspended.
