Regardless of whether you select the degree of simplification COARS = 1 or 2, you should not enter * or SAPDBPNP (programme name of logical database PNP) in the REPID field. With these values, you allow access to the logical databases SAPDBPNP and SAPDBPAP and thus to all contained root data.
GET_EMAIL_ADDRESS: The example implementation of this method reads the e-mail address from the system's user master record. Adjust the method if you want to read the email address from another source.

Here we present different scenarios for the process of resetting passwords. In all scenarios, the user selects the system and the client in which a password is to be reset from a web page. Only systems and clients where this user already exists and assigned a permission should be displayed. An initial password is then generated and sent to the user's email address. Only if a user lock is set by false logins, the user must be unlocked. If an administrator lock is in place, the user should be informed accordingly. Before implementing self-service, consider the password rules set in your systems and the use of security policies. Because these settings allow you to control how passwords are generated in your systems. We recommend that you read the instructions in Tips 4, "Set Password Parameters and Valid Signs for Passwords", and 5, "Define User Security Policy".
A troublesome scenario you're probably familiar with: You will soon be going live with a new business process and must now derive your roles in 97 accounting circles. Here eCATT can make your life easier. It's time again: If you don't have anyone in your department who likes to press the Copy button for several hours in the PFCG transaction, replace the Derive shortcut, and then customise the Organisation Levels (Origen) in the new roles on the Permissions tab (repeatedly connected to memory), the job will hang on you. Because there is hardly anything more boring, at the latest after one hour the first errors creep in. Whenever you have to roll out new roles, for example for your new premium business, to all your divisions, plants, etc. , the creation of the derived roles is tedious - because SAP does not offer smart mass maintenance. The SAP standard offers various ways to record and play on a massive scale. These tools are generally available for all operations in the SAP system, not just for role maintenance. Therefore, they are also more complex to operate, in order to be able to cover as flexibly as possible all possible application scenarios. eCATT is also no exception, so many users are still afraid to use it. But we can tell you from experience: After the second or third time, the creation of the test scripts is so quick that you'll wonder why you haven't always done it this way.
The possibility of assigning authorizations during the go-live can be additionally secured by using "Shortcut for SAP systems".
After the transfer of the data from the transaction SU22 to the tables from the transaction SU24, the role developer may further process the proposed values with the transactions SU24 or SU25 for use in the transaction PFCG.
This technical migration should definitely be audited by an internal or external auditor.
