Hi Chakri

Go through it. One of the best pdf documentation available on authorization objects.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a92195a9-0b01-0010-909c-f330ea4a585c

I get an error with the url above but it works by replacing irj/scn with irj/sdn : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a92195a9-0b01-0010-909c-f330ea4a585c

Moved from ABAP Objects to ABAP General....

ABAP OO will often take care of the checks for you, as will BAPI's.

If you want a general introduction then use the F1 key on statement AUTHORITY-CHECK and search SAP notes for "An introduction to authority checks".

It can be a rather complex matter... but you can control a lot if you use the intended concept consistently.

In the Security Forum there is a Sticky Thread for FAQs about authorizations. I recommend reading some of them as well - because the coding is only one side of the coin....

Reading the docs on transaction PFCG and SU24 is another usefull source...

Please use the search first, and then ask more detailed questions.

Cheers,

Julius
