Mitigating GRC risks for SAP systems
List of required organisational levels and their value
Transaction PFCG also offers you the option of automatically collecting permissions. Not every transaction entered into a single role via a role menu necessarily needs its own permission entry in the permission tree, because some transactions have identical or similar permission proposal values.
Structural authorizations work with SAP HCM Organizational Management and define who can be seen, but not what can be seen. This is done based on evaluation paths in the org tree. Structural authorizations should therefore only be used together with general authorizations. Just like the general authorizations in SAP ECC HR, they enable regulated access to data in time-dependent structures. An authorization profile is used to determine the authorization. In addition, it is defined how the search is carried out on the org tree.
Basic administration
If it is clear that a cleanup is necessary, the first step should be a detailed analysis of the situation and a check of the security situation. Based on these checks, a redesign of the authorizations can be tackled.
If the authorization objects also require permission fields, you can create them in the SU20 transaction. When creating a authorization object in the SU21 transaction, you first set a name and description for the authorization object, and then assign it to an object class. Then assign the necessary permission fields. If any of these fields are ACTVT, you can select all of the activities to be checked by clicking the Activities button. The navigation behaviour has been improved here a lot.
"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.

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.
The freeware Scribble Papers is a "note box" in which all kinds of data can be stored. It takes in typed texts as well as graphics and entire documents. The data is then organised in folders and pages.
Note that the PFCG transaction is actually executed, so the role is actually created in the system! Now maintain the permissions and organisation levels.
