SAP AG is not the publisher of this book and is not responsible for it under any aspect of press law.

Information contained in this book has been obtained by doing a lot of research on help.sap.com, following the most common standard SAP Courses, by reading SAP Press books, but most important by combining the authors’ functional knowledge of R/3, SAP CRM, SAP BW and his understanding of the SAP Authorization concept.

The publisher does not guarantee the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of any information and is not responsible for any errors or omissions or the results obtained from the use of such information. Readers should be particularly aware of the fact that the product SAP is a continuously changing entity. Some facts may have changed since the writing of the e-book.

The book is a private initiative of the author and is started as a personal SAP CRM security bible in order to keep all relevant experience he obtained during his SAP consultant career into one central document. Due to the lack of a good specific SAP CRM security guide, SAP Course or centralized information about this topic at the time of writing, the author decided to make this book publicly available for sale. The choice of e-book instead of hardcopy is due to the fact that the author is continuously working on this topic, and all updates will be included from time to time.

The price any reader would pay for this e-book is for the effort the author has put into centralizing all relevant information into one document, but will be 100% donated to a good cause. This can be functional know-how, technical knowledge and step-by-step examples of the usage of available authorization objects in the different SAP Modules.

The book is not intended to replace any SAP course and the author strongly advises to attend the basic courses for every SAP Module such as SAP CRM and SAP BW. Furthermore it is also advised to follow the specific SAP Authorization related courses such as:
