Even if key users (department users/application support) do not have to develop their own authorization objects and cooperation with SAP Basis is always advantageous, there are often technical questions such as "Which users have authorization to evaluate a specific cost center or internal order?
Authorization check
The implementation of the time-space validation checks is carried out as an additional time-space filter. For selection criteria outside the valid time period, the message "Not authorised to display data from this time period" appears. However, if the selection criteria are partially within the valid time period, the documents that are outside the time period will be filtered out by the system without the user receiving a notice. In the example shown in the above figure, users of the BP-NRW Verifier Group would be left without comment when calling the vendor list for the period 01.01.2010 to 31.12.2014. This system behaviour can be somewhat irritating.
Note that the SAP_NEW_ individual profiles should be retained themselves, so that at any given time, traceability is ensured as to which release and which permission was added. For more information, see SAP Notes 20534, 28175, and 28186. SAP Note 1711620 provides the functionality of an SAP_NEW role that replaces the SAP_NEW profile. If you have added this note, the profile will no longer be used. Instead, you can generate your PFCG role SAP_NEW by using the REGENERATE_SAP_NEW report. When you call the report, in the source and target release selections, type in the appropriate fields, and the role is created for that release difference.

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.
SAP's FI module is one of the most common in the SAP world and covers all business processes in the area of finance and accounting. The processes that run through this module are used for double-entry bookkeeping and recording of documents in the required accounts. It also establishes the associated profit determination for external and internal purposes.
The possibility of assigning authorizations during the go-live can be additionally secured by using "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.
The configuration data is stored in different configuration stores, depending on the type of configuration.
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.
