SAP Security Automation
Controlling file access permissions
The security policy was introduced with the SAP NetWeaver 7.31 release; for their use you need at least this release. Security policies thus replace the definition of password rules, password changes, and login restrictions via profile parameters. The security policy is assigned to the user in transaction SU01 on the Logon Data tab. Profile parameter settings remain relevant for user master records that have not been assigned a security policy. Some of the profile parameters are also not included in the security policy and therefore still need to be set system-wide. Security policy always includes all security policy attributes and their suggestion values. Of course, you can always adjust the proposed values according to your requirements. You define security policy about the SECPOL transaction. Select the attributes for which you want to maintain your own values and enter the values accordingly. The Descendable Entries button displays the attributes that are not different from the global entries.
There are several ways to view the implementation of permission checks: Either you jump directly from the system trace for permissions to the appropriate locations in the programme code, or you go over the definition of the authorization objects. To view the permission checks from the permissions system trace, start the trace from the STAUTHTRACE transaction and run the applications you want to view. Now open the evaluation of the Trace. In the Programme Name column, you can see the programme that includes the Permissions Check. Double-click to go directly to the code site where the permission check is implemented.

With "SIVIS as a Service" we present you the best solution for central user and authorization management in SAP. This replaces and protects you from the development end of your central user administration (SAP ZBV). SIVIS offers over 20 functions that you can flexibly combine (SaaS model), e.g. over 1,000 role templates for S/4HANA! This means that a new authorization concept can be quickly implemented! The encrypted connection to your SAP systems enables secure distribution of all changes made in the SAP standard.
Configuration validation gives you an overview of the homogeneity of your system landscape. Typical criteria are operating system versions, kernel patch levels, and the status of specific transport jobs or security settings. The following security settings can be monitored using configuration validation: Gateway settings, profile parameters, security notes, permissions. As part of the comparison, you can define rules that determine whether the configuration is rule-compliant or not. If the configuration meets the defined values in the rule, it will be assigned Conform status. You can then evaluate this status through reporting.
The possibility of assigning authorizations during the go-live can be additionally secured by using "Shortcut for SAP systems".
Therefore, it is not possible to add a list of more than 28 users, which can be very difficult for long lists.
This reduction in the table contents of the USRBF2 table will improve performance when performing eligibility tests.
