The SAP documentation for Authorisation object describes Activity 04 as “Print , Edit Messages”.  What does  “edit messages” mean?

What kind of  change access is provided by providing activity 04 on object such as : V_VBRK_*, V_VBAK_*, C_AFKO_*, K_KA_RPT, M_MSEG_WWE*, S_GUI  , M_RECH* etc…

It isn’t so clear.

Activity field  has many values, with general descriptions.

During authorization object creation the best fits to program needs are chosen.

Authorized activity can be slightly different in each program.

Authorization object documentation can give you some hints what field values do.

More you can find in program documentation, during tests with authorization traces or in code.

In conclusion - 04 gives you access to print or edit messages.
