Authorization Analysis
Add external services from SAP CRM to the proposal values
The audit result lists the vulnerabilities by priority, with a high priority combined with a high hit safety of a finding and a low priority combined with low hit safety. In addition, more information is available within the ABAP editor at each location. This priority indicator helps you to identify whether a false positive or an actual security problem is present. Priorities 1 and 2 are very likely to be a genuine reference. The tool provides recommendations on how to modify the source code to correct the vulnerabilities. In addition to the individual checks for individual developers, the tool also offers mass checks, for example to check an entire application for vulnerabilities in one step.
Further changes can be found when using the proof of use. When you click on the button (proof of use), you will receive a new selection. You can check which permissions, SU24 suggestion values, or SU22 suggestion values the authorization object uses. The ABAP-Workbench selection, as in previous releases, provides you with the proof of use for implementing the authorization object in programmes, classes, and so on. You can use the SAP NEW Data button to mark whether this authorization object is relevant to an SAP New role of a particular release.

The downloading of the table must be monthly. You can also make downloading easier; Frank Buchholz presents programmes that you can use in his blog (see http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Show+RFC+Workload+Statistic+to+build+authorizations+for+authorization+object+S_RFC). Optionally, the next step is to identify function groups for the function blocks. You can find them in the AREA field of the ENLFDIR table. However, we recommend granting permissions at the function block level, because function groups often contain a large number of function blocks and the accessibility is expanded unnecessarily.
During go-live, the assignment of necessary authorizations is particularly time-critical. The "Shortcut for SAP systems" application provides functions for this purpose, so that the go-live does not get bogged down because of missing authorizations.

As a second way to automate the mass maintenance of role pipelines, we mentioned the use of business role management.
