Create order through role-based permissions
Use usage data for role definition
Two other very important settings are the activation of the security audit log and the table logging. Both parameters must be activated in order to ensure traceability at the user level as well as at the table level. It should therefore be checked whether the detailed settings for the security audit log are set up in accordance with the company's specifications and, in any case, whether all users with comprehensive authorizations, such as SAP_ALL, are fully covered by the logging without exception.
Since the introduction of the security policy in SAP NetWeaver 7.31, this report has changed. In older releases, instead of the security policy overview, a profile parameter selection page is offered in the report's startup screen. If you select Show Profile Parameters in this selection view, you will see an overview of the Profile Parameters settings in the upper half of the screen. Here you should pay particular attention to the setting of the parameter login/no_ automatic_user_sapstar and check its setting even after the switch to the security policy.
The SAP authorization concept
Depending on the configuration of root data and processes, different permission checks can be relevant, so that it makes sense to adjust the proposed values. If custom applications have been created in the form of Z-transactions, Web-Dynpro applications, or external services, you must maintain suggestion values for these applications to avoid having manual permissions in the PFCG roles. You must ensure that custom applications are not always visible in the SU24 transaction. This is the case for TADIR services and external services. To learn how to make these services available for suggestion maintenance, see Tip 38, "Use the SU22 and SU24 transactions correctly.".
You can also find some useful tips from practice on the subject of SAP authorizations on the page www.sap-corner.de.
If you do not have authorization e.g. for a transaction and you get a message that you are missing authorization, you can use transaction SU53 to analyze the missing authorization. This transaction shows the last failed authorization check, including the authorization objects and authorization fields.
Assigning a role for a limited period of time is done in seconds with "Shortcut for SAP systems" and allows you to quickly continue your go-live.
If you do not want to use reference users, you can hide the Reference User field for additional permissions via a standard variant for the transaction SU01.
The freeware Scribble Papers puts an end to the confusing paper chaos. The tool is also suitable for storing, structuring and quickly finding text documents and text snippets of all kinds in addition to notes.
The determination works via a so-called authorization profile.
