Authorization object documentation
RSRFCCHK
The assignment of combinations of critical authorizations (e.g., posting an invoice and starting a payment run), commonly known as "segregation of duties conflicts," must also be reviewed and, if necessary, clarified with those responsible in the business departments as to why these exist in the system. If compensating controls have been implemented for this purpose, it is helpful if the IT department also knows about this so that it can name these controls to the IT auditor. The IT auditor can then pass this information on to his or her auditor colleagues.
Help, I have no permissions (SU53)! You want to start a transaction, but you have no permissions? Or the more complex case: You open the ME23N (show purchase order), but you don't see any purchase prices? Start transaction SU53 immediately afterwards to perform an authorization check. The missing authorization objects will be displayed in "red". You can also run SU53 for other users by clicking on Authorization Values > Other Users in the menu and entering the corresponding SAP user name.
Authorization roles (transaction PFCG)
To establish an efficient and consistent structure in the area of SAP authorization management, function-related role and authorization assignments are the be-all and end-all. In addition, the existing authorization concept must be constantly analyzed for changes and security-relevant errors through proactive monitoring. This prevents negative and highly security-critical effects on your entire system landscape. To make this task easier for you, Xiting provides you with a comprehensive analysis tool, the Xiting Role Profiler. In addition, you can perform a basic analysis in advance, which will also be the main focus of this blog. The goal is to show you SAP standard methods with which you can already independently optimize your authorization and role administration.
You want to document internal system revisions and authorisation monitoring? The new cockpit of the Audit Information System offers you some practical functions. There are several legal requirements that require a regular audit of your SAP system. As a general rule, there are internal and external auditors who carry out such audits. In addition, user and permission management can set up their own monitoring of permissions to avoid unpleasant surprises during audits. Auditor documentation is often standardised in the case of external auditors; for the internal audit or your own monitoring, however, in many cases a suitable documentation is missing. In spite of automated evaluations, external auditors often also demand an activation of the Audit Information System (AIS). We will show you how to activate the AIS and take advantage of the new AIS cockpit.
With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you can automate the assignment of roles after a go-live.
