In which object do you assign values to authorization fields?

The correct choice is based on the specific function of each object in the context of authorization management in SAP systems. In this case, assigning values to authorization fields typically occurs within the context of an Identity Access Management (IAM) application.

IAM applications are designed to manage user access and ensure that users only have the appropriate level of access to various resources within the system. This includes defining authorization objects, which are the keys for controlling access to transactions, reports, and data. In this context, the IAM application serves as the environment where authorization fields are configured and maintained, allowing administrators to set up and manage user permissions effectively.

While business catalogs and business roles play significant roles in user access management, they do not directly involve assigning values to authorization fields. Business catalogs organize applications to facilitate user information and access, whereas business roles define sets of permissions relevant to job functions but do not typically provide the mechanism for directly assigning or configuring authorization values.

The authorization object itself defines the criteria for access control but doesn't serve as the configurable environment where assignments take place. Understanding that IAM applications play this pivotal role clarifies why they are the correct answer regarding the assignment of values to authorization fields.
