The word in brackets is the technical BASIS-Component.

BC = Basis Component

SEC = Security

USR = User

I don't understand what you mean with "how to access" it, I mean it's the basis/core of the system.

Hi Lukas,

What I mean by accessing it is "How can I see the documentation related to this?"

Thanks.
