Efficient SAP rollout through central, tool-supported management
Authorization objects
The changes made by inserting the note or upgrading to the above support packages do not only affect the SAP_ALL profile. While it remains possible to assign the full RFC_SYSID, RFC_CLIENT, and RFC_USER permissions in principle; However, this can only be done manually in the PFCG transaction through the dialogue maintenance of the fields. In this case, another dialogue box will open, indicating the security risk. You must confirm this window. From this change of behaviour of the SAP_ALL profile, it follows that all automatic methods for taking over the overall authorisation are no longer available in the fields of the S_RFCACL authorization object.
Alternatively, you can maintain this information from the SE93 transaction by selecting a transaction first. You will then be presented with the list of all transactions that can be called from this transaction by using the Tools > Called Transaction Permission menu path. The implementation of SAP Note 1870622 provides a feature enhancement for the SE97 transaction. Among other things, there is the new button Modification Synchronisation. So far, changes in the SE97 transaction have been overwritten by inserting support packages or upgrades. With the modification comparison it is now possible to match your changes with the default values.
ACCESS CONTROL | AUTHORIZATION MANAGEMENT FOR SAP®
Sometimes implementation consultants are also confronted with the situation that no authorization concept exists at all. This happens, for example, when changes in SAP SuccessFactors responsibilities occur on the customer side or different implementation partners were active in the past. However, a missing concept can lead to errors in the system. Users cannot perform certain actions, or worse, people see sensitive data that they should not see. This can, in the worst case, constitute a DSGVO violation and lead to a fine for the company.
Once the programme implementation and documentation have been completed, a functional test will always follow. A corresponding eligibility test should not be forgotten. The permission test must include both a positive and a negative permission test.
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.
The website www.sap-corner.de offers a lot of useful information about SAP authorizations.
