Summary :
This SAP Note addresses enhancements in the authorization checks for spool request operations within SAP environments. It details the use of authorization objects, including S_SPO_DEV for device authorizations and S_SPO_ACT for operations on spool requests. A revised authorization concept starting from Release 4.0 is discussed, outlining four main authorization types aimed at retaining as much compatibility with previous systems while ensuring stricter security controls and flexibility. The note specifies how authorizations are checked during spool request creation and maintenance, clarifying which conditions bypass these checks to avoid job disruptions due to restrictive device authorizations.
