SAP Financial Accounting (SAP FI) Practice Exam

How can a customer select a group of users to post documents in a previous month during a closing cycle?

1. By assigning users to a document type

2. By setting the users' access level to 'unrestricted'

Similarly, marking users as administrators provides broad permissions but does not specifically limit their actions to the context of posting documents in a previous month. Thus, the assignment to an
