AUTHORIZATIONS FOR BATCH PROCESSING IN THE SAP NETWEAVER AND S/4HANA ENVIRONMENT
The system checks direct access to the contents of tables, for example, with transactions SE16, SM30, or SE16N with authorization checks on a table authorization group, object S_TABU_DIS. If there are no suitable authorizations for the table authorization group, the system checks the name of the table or view, object S_TABU_NAM. When making changes to client-independent tables, the system also checks the authorizations for object S_TABU_CLI. If you have configured line-based authorization checks in Customizing, the system also checks authorization object S_TABU_LIN. Assign tables or views to a table authorization group using transaction SE11 or SE54. You can also define table authorization groups using transaction SE54. If your customer development implements direct access to a table, use the VIEW_AUTHORITY_CHECK function module to perform the authorization check. For more information about generic access to tables, see SAP Note 1434284 Information Published on SAP Site and the online documentation for the authorization objects mentioned above.

In order to sustainably guarantee the security of the SAP system internally and externally, regular auditing is indispensable. Existing rule violations must be detected and corrected. In addition, it is important to document the regular operation of SAP in order to have evidence of this for external and internal requirements. Automated processes can save a lot of time and money.

In the transaction SU01, enter a non-existent user ID and click the Create button (F8). The BAdI BADI_IDENTITY_SU01_CREATE is called with the new user ID. Implementation in the BAdI is running. For example, here you can read additional attributes to the new user from an external data source. The data collected within the BAdIs is written into the fields of the transaction SU01. This will show you the new user master set with the pre-filled fields. You can edit the user master record, such as assign roles, or change the pre-populated fields.

Another option is to not assign the SAP_NEW permission to a user. For example, during the tests to be performed, both the development system and the quality assurance system will experience permission errors. These should then be evaluated accordingly and included in the appropriate eligibility roles for the correct handling of the transactions.

However, if your Identity Management system is currently not available or the approval path is interrupted, you can still assign urgently needed authorizations with "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.
