Authorizations in a company are usually not assigned to individuals, but to roles. A role describes jobs or positions within the organization. One or more persons can hold a role and thus have the access authorizations assigned to the role.

By means of a profile generator (transaction PFCG) the creation of the authorization profile can be automated in SAP.
