authorization group - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  An authorization group is a type of security feature in the SAP Product Information Network (PIN). It is used to control access to certain areas of the system, such as the ability to view or edit certain data. Authorization groups are assigned to users and can be used to restrict access to certain areas of the system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use authorization groups, users must first be assigned an authorization group. This can be done by an administrator or by the user themselves. Once an authorization group has been assigned, users will only be able to access areas of the system that are allowed by that authorization group. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that authorization groups are not a substitute for proper security measures. It is still important to ensure that users have appropriate access rights and that they are not able to access areas of the system that they should not be able to access.
