Access Controls and Authorisations
SAP’s security module gives you full control over users’ access to transactions and the organisational elements so that you can manage the risk and segregation of duties within your business, and restrict users to the activities that they require in order to perform their job function. To facilitate this, authorisations can be linked to the job functions defined in the SAP Human Capital Management module.

The authorisation system provides further flexibility by allowing you to design custom authorization objects, and to incorporate the standard authorization components into your custom developments.
