SAP S/4HANA® Launch Pack for Authorizations
Authorization object documentation
The aim of authorization concepts is to provide each user with the authorizations required for his or her task in the SAP system in accordance with the rules. A good authorization concept is the cornerstone for efficient and cost-effective authorization assignment.
You can use the Security Audit Log to control security-related events. Learn how to configure it to monitor the operations that are relevant to you. You want to use the Security Audit Log to monitor certain security-related operations or particularly well-authorised users in the SAP system. For example, you can log failed RFC calls system-wide, delete users, or log all activities of the default user, DDIC. For these loggers you need different recording filters and, if necessary, the possibility to select generic clients or users. Therefore, we will show you the settings you can make when configuring the Security Audit Log.
Existing permissions
SNC secures communication with or between ABAP systems, but there are also many web-based applications in SAP system landscapes. They communicate via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The data is also transmitted unencrypted when communicating via HTTP; Therefore, you should switch this communication to Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). HTTPS uses the encryption protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS) for secure data transfer on the Internet. You should therefore set up HTTPS for all users to access the Web. For communication between SAP systems, you should use HTTPS if you think the data transfer could be intercepted. You should either set up HTTPS on individual components of the infrastructure (such as proxies), or the ABAP systems should support HTTPS or TSL directly. Details of the configuration can be found in the SAPHinweis 510007.
This start authorization check is delivered inactive. To use it, you must activate it. After activation, you can use authorizations to control which Web Dynpro ABAP applications users are allowed to run. For the start authorization check of Web Dynpro ABAP applications, the system uses the authorization object S_START in the same way as the authorization object S_TCODE for transactions. The object has the fields AUTHPGMID, AUTHOBJTYP and AUTHOBJNAM, which correspond to the key fields PGMID, OBJECT and OBJ_NAME of the object catalog (table TADIR). So, during the start authorization check, the Web Dynpro ABAP runtime checks the key of the object catalog entry for the Web Dynpro ABAP application.
If you get into the situation that authorizations are required that were not considered in the role concept, "Shortcut for SAP systems" allows you to assign the complete authorization for the respective authorization object.

In the default implementation, the BAdI searches for the certificate in the Trust Manager's address book.
With F_FICO_IND you can define which individual conditions are checked when processing the contract depending on the defined authorization fields and their characteristics.
