Authorization Checks in Updates

No authorization checks must be made in updates.

• This rule was not always applied before Release 7.54:
  

• The statement AUTHORITY-CHECK only omitted authorization checks in update sessions and always set sy-subrc to 0 here.

• In local updates, on the other hand, AUTHORITY-CHECK made an authorization check.

• When using ABAP SQL to access a CDS entity for which a CDS role is defined, implicit CDS access control was applied in local updates and in update sessions by default.

• The following applies to local updates and to update sessions from Release 7.54:
  

• In updates, the statement AUTHORITY-CHECK always sets the value sy-subrc to 0 and does not make any authorization checks.

• CDS access control cannot take place. If the ABAP SQL statement SELECT is used in an update to access a CDS entity for which access control is not disabled using the value #NOT_ALLOWED for the annotation @AccessControl.authorizationCheck or using the addition WITH PRIVILEGED ACCESS in the FROM clause, the runtime error SYSTEM_UPDATE_TASK_ILL_STMT occurs.
