Equal permissions
Sustainably protect your data treasures with the right authorization management
Add SAP Note 1433352 to your system. This note ships with the RSAUDIT_SYSTEM_STATUS report. This report documents the current status of the Client and System Modification Settings in an overview, which you can also print out for evaluation if required. The advantage of this report is that pure display permissions are necessary to execute it.
The Permissions check continues again if the table in question is a client-independent table. This is done by checking the S_TABU_CLI authorization object, which decides on maintenance permissions for client-independent tables. For example, the T000 table is a table that is independent of the client and would be validated. To enable a user to maintain this table by using the SM30 transaction, you must maintain the S_TABU_CLI authorization object, in addition to the table permission group or specific table, as follows: CLIIDMAINT: X.
Advantages of authorization tools
A typical application arises when a new SAP user is requested. The data owner now checks whether the person making the request and the person to be authorized are at all authorized to do so, what data would be affected, whether an SAP user already exists to whom new roles can be assigned and old ones revoked, whether data access can be limited in time, and so on.
You should not grant large permissions for the SCC4 and SE06 transactions to internal and external auditors, just so that they can see the system modifiability. We present the report, which only requires the permissions a auditor usually has to view the system modifiability. There are several people who want to view the system modifiability settings in your system for specific reasons. These can be internal auditors, auditors or developers. The display of these settings, e.g. via the SCC4 or SE06 transactions, is not in itself critical; However, this has previously required permissions that are not usually assigned to the group of people just described. Since SAP NetWeaver 7.0, there is also a report that shows the system modifiability settings. This report requires only viewing permissions that can be assigned to the above-described group without any concerns. We present the application of this report and the required permissions here.
For the assignment of existing roles, regular authorization workflows require a certain minimum of turnaround time, and not every approver is available at every go-live. With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you have options to assign urgently needed authorizations anyway and to additionally secure your go-live.
The website www.sap-corner.de offers many useful information about SAP basis.
However, the start authorizations for actions should be generated into the role exclusively via the role menu.
So much information... how can you keep it so that you can find it again when you need it? That's what Scribble Papers is great for.
