User and authorization management
SAP AUTHORIZATIONS: THE 7 MOST IMPORTANT REPORTS
A mass rolling out of rolls is a very useful thing. It is also possible to use Excel-based data - as in the case of the outlined application case with eCATT - because it is a one-time action for the roles considered and SAP standard programmes are used in the background. However, ongoing maintenance of the permissions system, with continuous changes to roles and their detail permissions, requires the mapping of much more complex operations. An exclusive control over Office programmes should be well considered. This does not mean, of course, that there are not very good partner products for the care of roles. Simply verify that SAP standard procedures are used and that authorisation is managed in accordance with SAP best practices.
This also implies that the change documents must be kept in Excel. The Excel file must not be lost or damaged.
Compensating measures for segregation of duties conflicts
To access business objects or execute SAP transactions, a user needs appropriate authorizations, since business objects or transactions are protected by authorization objects with multiple authorization fields. Authorizations represent instances of generic authorization objects and are defined depending on the employee's activity and responsibilities. The authorizations are combined in an authorization profile (Generated profile), which is assigned to a role. User administrators then assign the appropriate roles (single role or composite role) via the user master record so that the user can use the appropriate transactions for his or her tasks.
The applications (transactions, Web-Dynpro applications, RFC building blocks, or Web services) are detected through their startup permissions checks (S_TCODE, S_START, S_RFC, S_SERVICE) and can be placed in the role menu of your role. In your role, go to the Menu tab and import these applications by clicking Apply Menus and selecting Import from Trace. A new window will open. Here you can evaluate the trace and view all recognised applications in the right window. To do this, click the Evaluate Trace button and select System Trace (ST01) > Local. In a new System Trace window, you can specify the evaluation criteria for the trace, such as the user using the Trace field only for users or the time period over which to record. Then click Evaluate.
