Defining an Authorization Field

As in the scenario for granting access based on activities, you define an authorization object. However, for this scenario, you first define authorization fields to fine-tune access on field level.

Context

In the following, we assume that the bonus calculation service has a bonus variant field of type domain. You create an authorization field based on this data element.

Procedure

1. Create an authorization field ZBNS_VARN for the bonus variant by following the procedure in the ABAP development guide: Defining Authorization Fields.

2. In the Data Element field, enter the data element for the bonus variant.

3. In the Check Table field, enter the SQL view name that you have created as a check table for all possible bonus variants (see Creating a Check Table for Authorization Fields).
