A manual comparison of role texts in an SAP system landscape with ZBV is very annoying. You can also automate the sync. I'm sure you know this. When creating or maintaining users in the Central User Administration (ZBV), you must manually start the text matching each time before assigning PFCG roles to provide you with the latest PFCG role definitions. Managing a large system landscape with many systems in your ZBV - including development, test and production systems - the text comparison can take a while.
It is easier to specify the programme name in the PROGRAM field because the maximum value of 40 characters is the limit for programme names in the SAP NetWeaver application server ABAP. If it is a function block or a Web application, you can obtain the programme name by using the System Trace for Permissions (transaction ST01 or transaction STAUTHTRACE). In the SPTH table, you can define access rights for paths and whether you want to perform an additional permission check on the S_PATH object.

Before using the system recommendations, we recommend that you implement the corrections in SAP Notes 1554475 and 1577059. It is also necessary that the systems to be managed are connected to the SAP Solution Manager and that in the transaction SMSY were assigned to a productive system and an SAP solution. Then, in the System Recommendations settings, schedule a background job that collects the relevant information about the attached systems. Relevant information is your release and support package stand, as well as SAP notes and their versions. An OSS connection from the SAP Solution Manager, which you have to set up beforehand, will then perform a calculation in the SAP Global Support Backbone, which will determine the necessary information, i.e., that the SAP Solution Manager itself hardly generates any load from the calculation. To automatically check the security level of your systems, you should also schedule this calculation as a background job.
The general SAP authorizations are used most often and for many things they are sufficient. For example, if only the HR department has access to the SAP HCM system. However, if other users come onto the system and you only want to allow them access to a limited number of personnel, then in the case of the general authorizations you have to deal with the organization key of infotype 1 (VSDK1), which must be hard-coded into the authorization roles. If ESS/MSS or Manager Desktop etc. now come into play, however, this means a large number of authorization roles, namely a separate one for each manager. This makes maintenance and servicing very time-consuming and your authorization concept becomes opaque, which in turn brings the much-quoted auditor onto the scene.
However, if your Identity Management system is currently not available or the approval path is interrupted, you can still assign urgently needed authorizations with "Shortcut for SAP systems".

But are they really necessary? Are these possibly even critical permissions? A review of the Permissions Concept can reveal that critical permissions are in your end-user roles.
Because this transaction shows the last failed permission check.
