Emergency user concept
Activity level
Conceptually, the user types Database User and Technical User are distinguished. Database users are users that represent a real person in the database. As soon as a Database User is deleted, all (!) database objects created by this Database User are also deleted. Technical users are users who perform technical tasks in the database. Examples include the SYS and _SYS_REPO users, which allow administrative tasks such as creating a new database object or assigning privileges.

See SAP Note 1763089 for information on the system requirements and support packages you need to access the new feature. With these support packages the transaction SAIS, the new AIS cockpit, is delivered. The AIS has thus been switched from the previous role concept to thematic audit structures and offers new functions, such as logging all audit activities. The AIS has existed in the SAP system for quite a long time; It is designed as a tool for testing and evaluating SAP systems and is delivered by SAP ERP to the standard. It includes the function of audit structures, a collection of audit functions on the areas of commercial audit and system audit, including their documentation. The commercial audit includes organisational overviews and balance sheet and process orientated functions. For example, this allows you to evaluate information about financial accounting and tax receipts. The AIS system audit covers general system audits and analysis of users and permissions. For example, it includes functionality to check profile parameters or transport.
Authorization tools - advantages and limitations
Database Schema Privileges permissions: Schema Privileges are SQL object permissions that control access to and modification of a (database) schema, including the objects contained in that schema. A user who has an Object Privilege for a schema also has the same Object Privilege for all objects in that schema.

Additional permission check on the S_RZL_ADM authorization object: For security reasons, an additional permission check is performed on the S_RZL_ADM authorization object for special PSE (Personal Security Environment) files with access type 01 (Create). These files are called *.pse and cred_v2. These files are required for single sign-on, encryption and digital signatures. They are maintained using the transaction STRUST and the transaction STRUSTSSO2, which require the same permission (see SAP Note 1497104 for details).

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".

Understanding the structure and functioning of the system is especially important for IT administration. It is not for nothing that "SAP Basis Administrator" is a separate professional field. On the page www.sap-corner.de you will find useful information on this topic.


This means that the proposed values of the permission that is already in place and to be added will come from the same transaction.

A note box in which data of all kinds can be quickly filed and retrieved. This is what Scribble Papers promises. At first, the program looks very spartan. But once a small structure is in place, you realise the great flexibility of this little helper.


This report can also be executed directly using the transaction SU10 and the corresponding permission.
