Making the RESPAREA responsibility the organisational level
Ensuring secure administration
In 2020, there were 82,761 cases of computer fraud in Germany. Five years earlier, the number of cases was significantly lower - 23,562 cases - and have steadily increased from then on. The smaller the group of people with access, the smaller the risk of data falling into the wrong hands. Efficient and well thought-out authorization management plays a key role in minimizing risk and is a good way of protecting against unauthorized access, data misuse and industrial espionage. Without a coherent, well thought-out concept, the regulation of accesses and authorizations for the users or key users of an SAP system is a serious security vulnerability.
The Security Audit Log now logs the table or view name and the scheduled activity of external table access via RFC connections; a new message type has been defined. You can find this fix and an overview of the required support packages in SAP Note 1539105.
Activity level
This list in the AGR_1252 table contains both the organisational fields that are shipped in the standard and the fields that you have collected for organisational fields. Unfortunately, the list does not indicate what kind of organisation field it is. But you can find out: Open the PFCG_ORGFIELD_DELETE programme via transaction SA38. The Organisation Level Value Helper (Orgebene) provides a list of all customer-specific organisation fields, because only these can be converted back to normal Permissions Object Fields. Note the implications if you want to actually run this programme.
One way of gaining direct access to downstream systems from the development system and possibly performing unauthorized activities there is to use incorrectly configured interfaces. In principle, interfaces within a transport landscape should be avoided with regard to the criticality of the systems "uphill", i.e. from an "unsafe" to a "safe" system (e.g. E system to Q or P system). However, this cannot always be implemented; for example, such interfaces are needed within the transportation system. Without going too deeply into the subject, however, critical interfaces can be characterized by the following properties. Critical interfaces refer to a critical system and a critical client, contain an interface user with critical authorizations in the target client, contain its deposited password.
If you get into the situation that authorizations are required that were not considered in the role concept, "Shortcut for SAP systems" allows you to assign the complete authorization for the respective authorization object.
SAP Basis refers to the administration of SAP system that includes activities like installation and configuration, load balancing, and performance of SAP applications running on Java stack and SAP ABAP. This includes the maintenance of different services related to database, operating system, application and web servers in SAP system landscape and stopping and starting the system. Here you can find some useful information about SAP Basis: www.sap-corner.de.
Among a lot of other information, you can find the assigned single and composite roles on the "Roles" tab.
The freeware Scribble Papers puts an end to the confusing paper chaos. The tool is also suitable for storing, structuring and quickly finding text documents and text snippets of all kinds in addition to notes.
The profile data will not be added to the bill of materials at the time of the roll recording but only when the transport order is released.
