• Key Concepts: 
  Propagated permissions are a feature of the Composite Application Framework (CAF) in SAP. This feature allows users to assign permissions to a parent object, and have those permissions automatically applied to all child objects. This helps to simplify the process of assigning permissions, as users do not need to manually assign permissions to each individual object. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use propagated permissions, users must first assign the desired permissions to the parent object. Once this is done, the permissions will be automatically applied to all child objects. This can be done through the CAF user interface or through the SAP command line. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using propagated permissions, it is important to remember that any changes made to the parent object will also be applied to all child objects. Therefore, it is important to ensure that any changes made are appropriate for all child objects.
