Activity level
Goal of an authorization concept
With these methods, we not only help you with the implementation. You can also maintain and manage the solutions yourself afterwards, or you can trust us to run them for you: We call this Customer Success.
HR authorizations are a very critical issue in many companies. On the one hand, HR administrators should be able to perform their tasks - on the other hand, the protection of employees' personal data must be ensured. Any error in the authorization system falls within the remit of a company's data protection officer.
What are SAP authorizations?
You can greatly facilitate the maintenance of permissions in controlling by defining the RESPAREA field as the organisational level, and thus using your cost centre and profit centre hierarchies. In the SAP system, you can define cost centre hierarchies and profit centre hierarchies. For example, they can map the expiration organisation or a matrix organisation in your company. To facilitate the mapping of permissions for the controlling reports, you can grant permissions to nodes in those hierarchies. You can do this by assigning permissions through the RESPAREA field, which is used in certain authorization objects in the controlling. We would like to facilitate the creation of roles for these permissions by explaining to you which activities are necessary in advance to define the RESPAREA field as an organisational level.
At www.sap-corner.de you will also find a lot of useful information on the subject of SAP authorizations.
When assigning a new user group to a user, only the creation permission in the new user group is required. Alternatively, you can enable the check for activity 50 (Move) of the S_USER_GRP authorization object. In the USR_CUST table, set CHECK_MOVE_4_CNG_GRP to YES.
During go-live, the assignment of necessary authorizations is particularly time-critical. The "Shortcut for SAP systems" application provides functions for this purpose, so that the go-live does not get bogged down because of missing authorizations.
If you use more than one Cost Centre or Profit Centre hierarchy with inheritance logic for the permissions, you must set this in the Customising cost accounting circles through the transaction OKKP.
The freeware Scribble Papers is a "note box" in which all kinds of data can be stored. It takes in typed texts as well as graphics and entire documents. The data is then organised in folders and pages.
The My Security Notes page allows you to find the SAP notes that are relevant for systems registered in SAP Service Marketplace.
