SAP Basis Services
SAP, as one of the world's leading software providers with over 100,000 employees, represents a central component of their system landscape for many companies. Thanks to the many different modules, such as "Finance" and "Human Capital Management", as well as the wide range of customization options, a broad field of professions and possible areas of focus has opened up here in almost 50 years.
In the following dialogue, select a TADIR service and the programme ID "R3TR" and the object type "IWSG". Now you can select the OData service stored on the front-end gateway. Then switch to the Permissions tab to generate the current profile of the permission objects with the new Fiori permission. Once you have performed these steps, the treated role has the necessary permissions on the front-end side. Fiori Permission to call the OData service on the backend server Now go to the role maintenance in the PFCG on the backend server. Open the appropriate role in Change Mode. Now you can repeat the steps for the frontend as explained above. However, when selecting the TADIR service as the permission proposal, you now select the object type "IWSV". Here you can select the OData service of the specific Fiori application stored in the backend.

In transaction PFUD (see image above), you can perform the user match manually for all roles (or selected roles). You can choose between the matchup types Profile Matchup, Matchup of Indirect Assignments from Composite Roles, and Matchup HR Organizational Management. According to SAP documentation, the matchups differ as follows: Profile Matchup: "The program compares the currently valid user assignments of the selected single roles with the assignments of the associated generated profiles and makes any necessary adjustments to the profile assignments. Matching indirect assignments from composite roles: User assignments to composite roles result in indirect assignments for the single roles contained in the composite role. This match type matches the indirect assignments of the selected single roles to the user assignments of all composite roles that contain the single roles. If the selection set contains composite roles, the comparison takes place for all single roles contained in it. HR Organizational Management comparison: This comparison type updates the indirect assignments of all selected single and composite roles that are linked to elements of HR Organizational Management. The HR adjustment is inactive and cannot be selected if no active plan version exists or if a global deactivation has been made by setting the Customizing switch HR_ORG_ACTIVE = NO in table PRGN_CUST. Furthermore, the option "Perform cleanup" is interesting, which can be selected independently of the three adjustment types and does not refer to the role selection. The Perform Cleanup function can be used to remove residual data that resulted from incomplete deletion of roles and the associated generated profiles.
SAP Basis is the foundation of any SAP system. You can find a lot of useful information about it on this page: www.sap-corner.de.
Another important example is the reading permission for TemSe objects. The temporary files are often forgotten, because it is often not considered that cached (strictly) sensitive data, which is intended for only one user (owner), can be viewed by another user without permission - and across clients. The examples mentioned show us how important it is to carefully assign permissions for client-independent transactions. Download Transaction tables The transactions that enable the examples above, including certain expressions of the associated permission objects and our recommendations for them, can be found in the file "Critical cross-client permissions" for download. Other client-independent transactions are located in the Cross Clients TCODES file. The criticality of these transactions should be assessed according to the context. I recommend always being careful and keeping these transactions in mind.
With "Shortcut for SAP Systems" a tool is available that greatly facilitates some tasks in the SAP basis.
Here you can create all types of transactions.
This defines rules that allow or prohibit certain programmes.
A note box in which data of all kinds can be quickly filed and retrieved. This is what Scribble Papers promises. At first, the program looks very spartan. But once a small structure is in place, you realise the great flexibility of this little helper.
