What to do when the auditor comes - Part 1: Processes and documentation
SAP Note 1720401 extends the SU10 transaction (mass maintenance of users) with the previously missing option to select users by login date and password changes. The notice adds these features to the RSUSR200 report. This report can also be executed directly using the transaction SU10 and the corresponding permission. After the hint has been inserted, the transaction SU10 will be expanded to include the login data button.
When you mix roles, either after upgrading or during role menu changes, changes are made to the permission values. You can view these changes as a simulation in advance. As described in Tip 43, "Customising Permissions After Upgrading," administrators may see some upgrade work as a black box. You click on any buttons, and something happens with the permissions in their roles. For example, if you call step 2c (Roles to be reviewed) in the SU25 transaction, all roles will be marked with a red light, which requires mixing based on the changed data from the SU24 transaction. Once you call one of these roles and enter the Permissions Care, the permission values change immediately. Using the Alt, New, or Modified update status, you can see where something has changed, but you cannot see the changed or deleted values. A simple example of how to play this behaviour without an upgrade scenario is changing the role menu. Delete a transaction from a test role and remix that role. You are aware that certain authorization objects have now been modified and others have even been completely removed, but can't all changes at the value level be replicated? Thanks to new features, this uncertainty is now over.

You can access the ABAP Test Cockpit from the context menu of the object to be checked via Verify > ABAP Test Cockpit. Note that the global check variant of the Code Inspector that you created in the transaction SCI and that is entered as the default in the transaction ATC (ATC configuration) includes the security tests of the extended programme check of the SAP Code Vulnerability Analyser.
You use the RSUSR010 report and you do not see all transaction codes associated with the user or role. How can that be? The various reports of the user information system (SUIM) allow you to evaluate the users, permissions and profiles in the SAP system. One of these reports, the RSUSR010 report, shows you all executable transactions for a user, role, profile, or permission. Users of the report are often unsure about what this report actually displays, because the results do not necessarily correspond to the eligible transactions. Therefore, we clarify in the following which data are evaluated for this report and how these deviations can occur.
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.

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.
In any case, when using critical permissions, you should observe the principle of restricting rights.
