Reader Reviews
This book is simply superb. I am somewhat experienced in SAP Authorizations. I learnt the basics of authorizations from the book "Authorizations made easy" by SAP Press. But after that I bought this book, and I cant emphasize how much this book has helped me to get the bigger picture of Authorizations. A must book for wannabe SAP Authorization Administrators. First book is AMEZ, next comes this book. I found it very helpful to understand how the SAP Authorization system is designed in an actual implementation. I am sure this book will be very helpful to people who are already experienced, but for beginners this is a book that cant be missed !!!
