Controlling permissions for the SAP NetWeaver Business Client
BASICS FOR USING SAP REPORTS
The role concept provides that each user can only process the tasks to which he is authorized. It is developed across departments and must protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. A clear role concept enables a modular structure of authorizations without having to create separate roles for each user.
The assignment of combinations of critical authorizations (e.g., posting an invoice and starting a payment run), commonly known as "segregation of duties conflicts," must also be reviewed and, if necessary, clarified with those responsible in the business departments as to why these exist in the system. If compensating controls have been implemented for this purpose, it is helpful if the IT department also knows about this so that it can name these controls to the IT auditor. The IT auditor can then pass this information on to his or her auditor colleagues.
