Different Authorization groups

Question: Hi, i noticed that there are different authorization groups in SAP as belows

S_DEVELOP ABAP Workbench
P_GROUP Authorization group ABAP/4 pro

S_TABU_DIS Table Maintenance (via standard tools such as SM30)
DICBERCLS Authorization group for DD objects


So far, i have gathered 2 different types of authorization groups, One is for programs and the other is for tables. In addition, there are existing authorization groups for the tables as identified from table TDDAT. And for the authorization groups for programs, they are in SREPOATH, right?

Answer:
There are far more than two authoriation groups. Look through the authorization objects in SU21 and you will find over 50 authorization groups. They all work pretty much the same, as a way to link dis-similar objects into a common key.

Tables authorization groups are assigned as part of the table attributes in table TDDAT.

Atuhorization groups for programs are part of the program attributes and stored in table TRDIR. (SREPOATH is a backup table to recover from an upgrade)

Answer:
i went to su21, but i cant find a direct way into finding the various authorization groups other than clicking on each authorization class and then further into various authorization objects.

I am sure that what i am doing is not the efficient way of doing things. will appreciate any kind pointers.

Thanks
