• Key Concepts: 
  Compound Access Control Context (CACC) is a feature of the SAP PLM Web Applications component that allows users to control access to certain objects in the system. It is based on a combination of user roles, object types, and object attributes. CACC enables users to define access control rules for different objects in the system, such as documents, parts, and BOMs.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use CACC, users must first define the access control rules for each object type. This can be done by assigning user roles to each object type and setting the appropriate access levels for each role. Once the access control rules have been defined, users can then assign the appropriate roles to each object in the system. This will ensure that only users with the correct roles can access the objects in question.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up CACC, it is important to ensure that all user roles are assigned correctly and that all access levels are set appropriately. It is also important to remember that CACC is only applicable to certain object types and not all objects in the system. Therefore, it is important to ensure that only those objects which require access control are included in the CACC setup.

  CACC is part of SAP's overall security framework and is designed to provide an additional layer of security for sensitive data. It is also used in conjunction with other security features such as authorization checks and encryption. For more information on SAP security features, please refer to SAP's Security Guide.
