Granting the appropriate authorisations according to role and position is essential for enabling users to perform their tasks successfully. If you work with user groups, you know how convenient it is to assign users to the relevant groups and grant the authorisations on a group level. This makes the authorisation assignment and maintenance very efficient.

Since authorisations are considered a sensitive area in many businesses, it is important to be able to track changes, especially when it comes to user groups, where any change may affect multiple users. For that purpose, SAP Business One extended the Change Log functionality to support user groups as well:

To review the Change Log for user group authorisations, mark the required user group and choose the option “Change Log…” from the tools menu. Similar to other functions, the Change Log window lists the changes made, and by choosing the “Show Differences” button you can see the detailed changes related to the given instance.

Available in Web Client for SAP Business One 10.0, and SAP Business One 10.0 version for SAP HANA. Please get in touch if you would like to upgrade to version 10.0.
