With "SIVIS as a Service" we present you the best solution for central user and authorization management in SAP. This replaces and protects you from the development end of your central user administration (SAP ZBV). SIVIS offers over 20 functions that you can flexibly combine (SaaS model), e.g. over 1,000 role templates for S/4HANA! This means that a new authorization concept can be quickly implemented! The encrypted connection to your SAP systems enables secure distribution of all changes made in the SAP standard.
You can also evaluate the application log through the SLG1 (ATAX object) transaction; the output of the report CA_TAXLOG seems more useful here. Finally, we have some important information for you: There are individual programmes that can be used read-only, but also offer options for updates to the database. In these cases, additional logic was implemented (e.g. in SAP Note 925217 to the RFUMSV00 programme for the sales tax pre-reporting). Action log data can be accessed via the transaction SLG2 (Object: ATAX) (see also SAP Note 530733). If you want to customise for the annual permissions directly in the production system (so-called "current setting"), the SAP Note 782707 describes how to do this. Basic information about Current Settings is provided in SAP Notes 135028 and 356483. SAP Note 788313 describes in detail the functional components of the time-space test and the additional logging and also serves as a "cookbook" to use in customer-specific developments. How you can prevent access to the SAP menu and only show the user menu to the user, we described in Tip 47, "Customising User and Permissions Management".
Existing permissions
Access to personal data in a company is a sensitive issue. It is essential to manage this access securely and to be able to provide information at any time about who has access to the data, when and in what way - and not just for the sake of the auditor. For this reason, the topic of SAP authorizations is a very important one, especially for the HR department.
Today we come to the error analysis with authorizations. The best thing that can happen is the error of the type: "I don't have authorization to do this and that!" (CASE1). Worse is the case that someone has too many permissions, i.e. the type: "User xy should not have this permission anymore" (CASE2). How to proceed? First of all we come to case 1 This case, that someone has no authorization for something, supports the system excellently! The code word is SU53! If a transaction encounters an authorization error, then this error is written to a memory area that can be displayed. For this there is once the transaction SU53 or the menu selection "System/Utilities/Anc authorization check". With this function, the system outputs information showing which authorization objects are missing for the user.
The possibility of assigning authorizations during the go-live can be additionally secured by using "Shortcut for SAP systems".

Suppose you want to allow access to certain data for specific users or revisors.
Your SAP system contains a lot of data, which is often confidential.
