Architecture of authorization concepts
System Settings
The SAP standard offers various ways to record and play on a massive scale. These tools are generally available for all operations in the SAP system, not just for role maintenance. Therefore, they are also more complex to operate, in order to be able to cover as flexibly as possible all possible application scenarios. eCATT is also no exception, so many users are still afraid to use it. But we can tell you from experience: After the second or third time, the creation of the test scripts is so quick that you'll wonder why you haven't always done it this way.
Giving permissions to specific functions that are called in SAP CRM through external services requires some preliminary work. Users working in SAP CRM use the SAP CRM Web Client to invoke CRM capabilities. For this to work smoothly, you must assign a CRM business role to the user, which provides all the CRM functionality necessary for the user. If the role should only allow access to certain external services, regardless of the customising (or only to the external services specified in the customising), it becomes a little trickier. All clickable elements in the SAP CRM Web Client, such as area start pages or logical links, are represented by CRM UI components. These UI components are, technically speaking, BSP applications. By clicking on such a component, the user gains access to certain CRM functions. These UI components are represented in the roles as external services. You must explicitly allow access to these UI components through PFCG roles, similar to the permissions for access to specific transactions.
Use application search in transaction SAIS_SEARCH_APPL
This information is used in the name generation of the external service. In this way, all area start pages and logical links configured in a CRM business role are authorised in the form of external services. Due to the mass of external services that appear in the role menu, it is difficult to keep track of them. Now, to allow only certain external services, you can do the following: First, identify the external service using the permission trace.
Balance: In the settlement transactions, the user is only presented with the supporting documents for which he or she has permission. If the Profit Centre field is not filled in the journal view (Table BSEG), the general ledger view (usually Table FAGLFLEXA) is checked. To compensate, we recommend that you include the Profit Centre in the selection fields of the balancing transactions.
The possibility of assigning authorizations during the go-live can be additionally secured by using "Shortcut for SAP systems".

If you have configured line-based authorization checks in Customizing, the system also checks authorization object S_TABU_LIN.
So much information... how can you keep it so that you can find it again when you need it? Scribble Papers is a "note box" that makes this very easy.
There are different dates for document validation.
