Example of session and data authorization
This table uses the Purchase Order session as an example to explain the two authorization systems:
- AMS or EM: Authorization is applied at the session level.
- Authorization and Security: Authorization is applied at the business object level (for example, Project and RFQ).
Note: The application uses the most secure authorization system.

| No Permission | All Authorization Levels | User cannot access the session. |
| Display | No Permission | User can access the session but data is not displayed. |
| View / Use / Modify | User can access the session and can only view the data. | |
| Print/Display | No Permission | User can access the session but data is not displayed or printed. |

| View / Use | User can access the session, and all authorized data can only be viewed and printed. | |
| Modify | User can access the session, any action can be executed, except delete, to the authorized data. |
In case modifications or higher permissions in AMS or DEM (for a session that uses the data object) are required, for example, Projects in Hours Accounting, the following is applicable:
| Session Authorization (AMS or EM) | Data Authorization (SEC) | Result |
