  • Key Concepts: 
    An authorization group is a feature of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) that allows users to assign different levels of access to different users. It is used to control who can access certain areas of the system and what they can do in those areas. Authorization groups are assigned to users and can be used to restrict access to certain functions or data. 
    
    How to use it: 
    In order to use authorization groups, a user must first create an authorization group in the system. This can be done by going to the “Authorization Groups” tab in the EWM system and selecting “Create Authorization Group”. The user will then be prompted to enter a name for the group and select which functions and data the group will have access to. Once the group is created, it can be assigned to users in the system. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating an authorization group, it is important to consider which functions and data should be included in the group. It is also important to consider who should have access to the group and what level of access they should have. It is also important to keep in mind that authorization groups can be changed or deleted at any time, so it is important to keep them up-to-date with any changes that may occur in the system.
