  An authorization group is a type of security measure used in SAP software. It is used to control access to certain areas of the system, such as the CA-ATP Available-to-Promise (ATP) component. Authorization groups are assigned to users, and they determine which areas of the system the user can access.

Once the group is created, it can be used to control access to certain areas of the system, such as the CA-ATP Available-to-Promise (ATP) component. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating authorization groups, it is important to ensure that only users who need access to certain areas of the system are assigned to them.
