The main advantage of Authorisation Lists in securing Objects is that you do not need a lock on the objects when you want to change the access rights of a user to the objects in the list.

First you will have to see how you divide your objects over the authorisation lists (sort of making security areas). Adding objects to authorisation lists will require an exclusive lock on the objects, but once this has been done you can easily change access rights without the need of having to obtain a lock on the objects.

Let me add on…..

In group profiles, all the members of the group get the same authority for a particular object.

In Authorization list, different users get different authorities for different objects.

Hi,

Let me clearify this with an example.
Let’s say the bookkeeping department of a company will work during off office hours, the persons who will work are named into an authorization list, which is known by the system.

So everybody whose name is specified in that authorization list, can sign in without being rejected by the system.

You get it now?

Bye

However, you also group users together via “groups”.
