Authorization object documentation
This start authorization check is delivered inactive. To use it, you must activate it. After activation, you can use authorizations to control which Web Dynpro ABAP applications users are allowed to run. For the start authorization check of Web Dynpro ABAP applications, the system uses the authorization object S_START in the same way as the authorization object S_TCODE for transactions. The object has the fields AUTHPGMID, AUTHOBJTYP and AUTHOBJNAM, which correspond to the key fields PGMID, OBJECT and OBJ_NAME of the object catalog (table TADIR). So, during the start authorization check, the Web Dynpro ABAP runtime checks the key of the object catalog entry for the Web Dynpro ABAP application.

A prerequisite for the indirect assignment of PFCG roles is a well-maintained organisational model. This may correspond to a line organisation consisting of organisational units to which posts are assigned. Use an organisation chart to visualise the employee structure of the company or department for which you are to assign roles. Assign to the posts the people to whom a user is assigned as an attribute. In addition, you can also include other objects from HR organisation management, such as the posts describing the post and assigning roles.
Include customising tables in the IMG
Only adding an authorization object via SU24 does not automatically result in a check within the transaction. The developer has to include an authorization check exactly for this object in the program code.

Authorizations are the main controlling instrument for mapping risk management and compliance. They are used to control all processes in the systems. For the most part, separation of functions is implemented exclusively with authorizations. Therefore, not only the one-time setup of authorizations is relevant, but also the continuous monitoring and control of the authorization assignment. Various tools are available on the market for this purpose. A re-certification process that involves the departments and optimizes the revalidation of authorizations is helpful.

"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.

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 following sections first describe and classify the individual components of the authorization concept.

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.


All function modules that are to be executable via RFC are entered into the UCON Communication Assembly.
