• Key Concepts: 
  An actor is a user or system that interacts with the SAP system. In the CRM-BF Basic Functions component, actors are used to define the roles and responsibilities of users in the system. This includes defining who can access certain data, who can perform certain tasks, and who can view certain reports. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Actors are used to control access to data and functions within the SAP system. To create an actor, you must first define the roles and responsibilities of the user or system. This includes defining which data they can access, which tasks they can perform, and which reports they can view. Once this is done, you can assign the actor to a user or system in the SAP system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an actor, it is important to ensure that you assign the correct roles and responsibilities to the user or system. This will ensure that they have access to only the data and functions that they need. It is also important to regularly review your actors to ensure that they are up-to-date with any changes in roles or responsibilities.
