Enabling authorization for pick list items
1. In Field definer , put the Pick list items (descriptive) and/or the Pick list items (code, descriptive) business object under construction.
2. Enable the option Is authorized for the relevant business object in the data section.
You have now enabled authorization on the items included in the configured pick lists.
3. Select the Completed option in the action menu and click Save.

This is step 2 in the Basic Authorization process. For general information on the complete authorization process, refer to Basic authorization.

Note that if you want to authorize the configuration of Pick lists (code/ descriptive), you also have to authorize the configuration of the Pick list items (code-descriptive). The same applies to Pick lists (descriptive) and Pick list items (descriptive).
A person with an authorization to configure pick lists of one or both types, is allowed to configure pick lists in the Supporting data launch group > Pick lists launch item.

For more information on configuring pick lists in the Supporting data launch group, refer to Supporting data documentation.
Configured pick lists of either type (descriptive, or code-descriptive) can be linked to free fields in the Field definer launch item.

Finally, you can authorize end users to use all or some of the items in these pick lists. For more information on authorizing the use of pick lists, refer to Authorizing end users to use configured pick lists.
