Maintenance Status
Security Automation for SAP Security Checks
The selection mask for selecting change documents in the transaction SCUH is divided into four sections: Standard selection (similar to other SUIM reports), output, selection criteria, and distribution parameters. In the default selection you have the option to specify for which model view, for which modifier (Modified by) and for which time period you want to view change documents.
From the result of the statistical usage data, you can see which transactions (ENTRY_ID) were used, how often (COUNTER), and how many different users. There are various indications from this information. For example, transactions that were used only once by a user within 12 months could indicate a very privileged user, or inadvertently invoking a transaction for which a user has permissions. The future assignment of such transactions in the SAP role concept should then be critically questioned. In contrast, you should consider transactions with a high level of usage and a large user circle (e.g. with more than ten users) in an SAP role concept.
Evaluation of the authorization check SU53
Here I had to look for a moment at which point for SAP key users and not only for the SAP Basis in the SAP system an authorization is callable and may like to take this as an opportunity to write here in the article a few basics on the "anatomy" of SAP authorizations. To access the SAP system, the first thing you need is an SAP user ID (User). The user maintenance transaction SU01 (or SU01D) can be used to assign roles (from which profiles are derived) in addition to the (initial) password and personal data.
The programmer of a functionality determines where, how or whether authorizations should be checked at all. In the program, the appropriate syntax is used to determine whether the user has sufficient authorization for a particular activity by comparing the field values specified in the program for the authorization object with the values contained in the authorizations of the user master record.
Secure your go-live additionally with "Shortcut for SAP systems". You can assign necessary SAP authorizations quickly and easily directly in the system.
You can create such an organisational matrix as an Excel file or in ABAP; This depends on how you want to read the data.
Security policies thus replace the definition of password rules, password changes, and login restrictions via profile parameters.
