SAP S/4HANA® migration audit
Important components in the authorization concept
The critical permissions are defined in these steps: On the Entry screen, select the Critical Permissions button. You will now see two folder pairs in the dialogue tree: - Critical Permissions > Critical Permission - Critical Permission > Permissions Data. In Change Mode in the lower folder hierarchy, double-click the Critical Permission folder, and then select New Entries. In the right-hand pane of the screen, enter the appropriate data for the Eligibility, Text, Colour, and Transaction Code fields. Save your input. When saving, you are asked for a customising job. Please specify it accordingly. Select the entry you just created and double-click to open the Permissions Data folder to maintain the permissions data. Then create a variant. To do this, double-click the Variants to Critical Permissions folder and select New Entries. Enter the name and description of the variant and save your input. Now assign the identifier of the created critical permission to the variant. To do this, select the variant and then double-click in the Variants subfolder to get critical permissions > critical permissions in the input mask. Now click on New Items and select your variant from the list - in our example ZB01. Then save your input. Finally, you can run your report variant with critical permissions. To do this, go back to the RSUSR008_009_NEW entry screen and select the critical permissions option in the variant name pane. Now use the Value Help to select and run the variant you just created.

Role credentials saved by the last edit are displayed. This option is not recommended if transactions have been changed in the Role menu.
Authorization concept - recertification process
Applications use the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK in the source code of the program to check whether the user has the appropriate authorizations and whether these authorizations are defined appropriately, that is, whether the user administrator has assigned the values required by the programmer for the fields. In this way, you can also protect transactions that are indirectly accessed by other programs. AUTHORITY-CHECK searches the profiles specified in the user master record for authorizations for the authorization object specified in the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement. If one of the determined authorizations matches one of the specified values, the check was successful.

Typically, this includes permissions that can be used to delete change records in the system or electronically erase them. The traceability of changes is also important in the development system, which is why the authorizations listed below should only be assigned very restrictively or only to emergency users.

Authorizations can also be assigned via "Shortcut for SAP systems".

In the example shown in the figure below, a group of auditors from North Rhine-Westphalia would be active for the accounting area or cost accounting area (OrgUnit) 1000.

The Security Audit Log (SAL) has ten different filters in the current releases, which control which events are logged.
