Equal permissions
Full verification of user group permissions when creating the user
A typical application arises when a new SAP user is requested. The data owner now checks whether the person making the request and the person to be authorized are at all authorized to do so, what data would be affected, whether an SAP user already exists to whom new roles can be assigned and old ones revoked, whether data access can be limited in time, and so on.
The goal of an authorization concept is to provide each user with the appropriate authorizations in the system individually for their tasks according to a previously defined rule. For this purpose, an authorization concept must be defined as the foundation for efficient authorization assignment. In this way, each employee is given system access through the role-specific assignment of authorizations according to his or her tasks. On the one hand, this protects sensitive information and, on the other, prevents damage caused by incorrect use of data.
Optimise trace analysis
In the Output pane, you can view the change documents of a remote subsidiary system, or in the Selection Criteria pane, you can restrict the change documents for the central system (transmit system) or only for specific daughter systems. In the lower part, you can select the distribution parameters that you are interested in changing. The evaluation includes information about all changes in the ZBV configuration and in the attached subsidiary systems, as of the time the corresponding release or support package was inserted into the systems. In addition to the date, time and modifier, the evaluation also contains information about the respective model view, the status of the configured system and the action taken (old value and new value). In our example, you will see changes that have occurred in the SCUA transaction, such as creating a model view and adding subsidiary systems, changes made in the SCUG transaction, such as the user adoption, and changes to the distribution parameters in the SCUM transaction.
For the assignment of existing roles, regular authorization workflows require a certain minimum of turnaround time, and not every approver is available at every go-live. With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you have options to assign urgently needed authorizations anyway and to additionally secure your go-live.

The default authorization roles of the new SAP system for consolidation and planning, SAP Group Reporting, are shown in the following graphic.
