## 13.13.4.1.5.1  Authorizations
The authorization concept used by Reserve for Bad Debt (RBD) is the same as the SAP authorization concept.
The authorization checks in RBD differentiate between the following dimensions:
- Activity You use the activity to control what a user is permitted to do.
- Organization
- At the level of the RBD-specific objects RBD Area or Organizational Unit , you specify which data the user is permitted to display or edit in accordance with the activity.
## Standard Profiles

##  Caution
For the RBD Area and Organizational Unit authorization fields, you can use the wildcard symbol '*'. If you use the wildcard symbol, access authorization is not checked for the relevant authorization field.
##  Example
Description in relation to these authorization objects:
- The assignment of authorization object RBD\_CUST with activity 16 authorizes the user to use the function RBD: Duplicate Customizing Account Determination (/IBS/MRB\_CUST\_KTOFI) .
- The assignment of authorization object RBD\_EDIT with activity 01 and RBD area 0001 enables a user to display the data for an RBD account in RBD area 0001.
- The assignment of authorization object RBD\_EDIT with activity 02 , RBD area 0002 , and organizational unit London enables a user to change data for an RBD account in RBD area 0002 that is assigned to the organizational unit 'London' .
However, if the user is not assigned any other access authorizations, he or she cannot change an RBD account from RBD area 0002 that is assigned to the organizational unit 'Tokio'.
- The assignment of authorization object RBD\_EDIT with activities 02 and 10 , and RBD area 0003 enables a user to create and post planned records for an RBD account in RBD area 0003. However, a prerequisite for this is that the principle of multiple control for posting planned records (risk provision proposals) has not been activated in Customizing for RBD.
- The assignment of authorization object RBD\_REPO with RBD area '*' and organizational unit '*' allows a user to display the RBD data for all RBD areas and all organizational units, using the reports of the RBD information system.

## Definition of Customer-Specific Roles
The following information is required for the definition of customer-specific roles:
- SAP logon names of all employees who are to work with RBD
- Relevant transactions that are to be executed in the respective role
- Relevant activities that are to be executed within the relevant transactions
- RBD areas and organizational units affected
To avoid having to define a separate role for each employee, we recommend that you form groups of employees that are permitted to execute the same functions. You can then assign a defined role to all of the employees in the group.
