Advantages of authorization tools
Critical authorizations
Service users are used for multi-person anonymous access, such as Web services. This type of user is also dialogical, i.e. it can log on to the SAP system via SAP GUI. With a service user, multiple logins are always possible, and password modification rules do not work. This behaviour has changed with the introduction of security policy. Because previously all password rules for the service user were invalid, and now the rules for the contents of the passwords also apply to the service user (see Tip 5, "Defining User Security Policy" for details on security policy). The password of a service user always has the status Productive and can only be changed by the user administrator.
For a call of transactions from SAP ERP from the SCM system to work, the RFC connection to be called for each ERP transaction must be maintained. To do this, click the More node details button and select the Target system item.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the role-based authorizations in SAP SuccessFactors and I'm glad the system has such extensive capabilities. To review your need for action in this area, I advise you to ask yourself the following questions: Do you know which users get which SAP authorizations and why? Can you explain the concept to your data protection officer? Is it easy for you to introduce a new process because you know how the authorizations work? If you have to answer "no" here (several times), I recommend you to dedicate yourself to the topic. It will make their lives easier in the future. If you need help with this, feel free to contact us!
Another special feature of the role menu is the maintenance of object-based navigation. If a call to a transaction has been executed through a button in a Web Dynpro application, you must make the Object-based Navigation settings for the transaction to call. To do this, select the appropriate item in the (F4) Help. You may need to ask the developer of the application for navigation information.
With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you can automate the assignment of roles after a go-live.

To do this, call the SPRO_ADMI project management entry transaction.
According to our project experience, some naming conventions are particularly attractive.
