Even if key users (department users/application support) do not have to develop their own authorization objects and cooperation with SAP Basis is always advantageous, there are often technical questions such as "Which users have authorization to evaluate a specific cost center or internal order?
Prevent excessive permissions on HR reporting
You can view the change documents of the permission proposal maintenance using the report SU2X_SHOW_HISTORY (available with the support package named in the SAPHinweis 1448611). If the note is not implemented, use the USOBT_CD and USOBX_CD tables. We recommend that you run the SU24_AUTO_REPAIR correction report regularly. This report cleans up inconsistencies and adds missing modification flags in the transaction SU24 data that may turn up as errors when the transaction SU25 is executed. Read SAP Note 1539556 for this. Modification flags are added to the records in transaction SU24, if they have been modified by you. You can see these flags in the USOBT_C and USOBX_C tables.
Since the maintenance effort would be too great if individual authorizations were entered in the user master record, authorizations can be combined into authorization profiles. Changes to access rights take effect for all users who have entered the profile in the master record.
Authorizations in SAP systems: what admins should look out for
The changes made by inserting the note or upgrading to the above support packages do not only affect the SAP_ALL profile. While it remains possible to assign the full RFC_SYSID, RFC_CLIENT, and RFC_USER permissions in principle; However, this can only be done manually in the PFCG transaction through the dialogue maintenance of the fields. In this case, another dialogue box will open, indicating the security risk. You must confirm this window. From this change of behaviour of the SAP_ALL profile, it follows that all automatic methods for taking over the overall authorisation are no longer available in the fields of the S_RFCACL authorization object.
If you get into the situation that authorizations are required that were not considered in the role concept, "Shortcut for SAP systems" allows you to assign the complete authorization for the respective authorization object.
