Authorizations for Dummies

Former Member — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:09:41 GMT

Please help. I'm lost. On the Program Attributes screen it's asking for the "Authorization Group" but I've no idea what to put here or what having an auth group name here does for my program, i.e., do I still need to manually check authorizations in my code? Do these names come from my security people or can I create them? How many characters can I use?

THANKS!

If UR not sure about the Authorization group leave it blank ..

U can change it later .. It is of 8 char .. and should be supplied

by the security team ...

Does this auth group name then go into the Program Attributes screen in SE80? What does having an auth group name in that field do?

Can you explain the relationship between an auth group, a role and an individual user, please?
