General considerations
Using eCATT to maintain roles
One way of gaining direct access to downstream systems from the development system and possibly performing unauthorized activities there is to use incorrectly configured interfaces. In principle, interfaces within a transport landscape should be avoided with regard to the criticality of the systems "uphill", i.e. from an "unsafe" to a "safe" system (e.g. E system to Q or P system). However, this cannot always be implemented; for example, such interfaces are needed within the transportation system. Without going too deeply into the subject, however, critical interfaces can be characterized by the following properties. Critical interfaces refer to a critical system and a critical client, contain an interface user with critical authorizations in the target client, contain its deposited password.
A manual comparison of role texts in an SAP system landscape with ZBV is very annoying. You can also automate the sync. I'm sure you know this. When creating or maintaining users in the Central User Administration (ZBV), you must manually start the text matching each time before assigning PFCG roles to provide you with the latest PFCG role definitions. Managing a large system landscape with many systems in your ZBV - including development, test and production systems - the text comparison can take a while.
Organisational allocation
The path with the associated permission group DEVL contains the local temporary files of the ABAP Frontend Editor of the ABAP development environment (transactions SE38, SE80, SE24, etc.). The two paths with the ADMN permission group show how logically related paths can be grouped into a S_PATH permission check. The two entries with the FILE permission group show how paths for Windows can be completed in systems with application servers of different operating systems. The core.sem and coreinfo entries are required to write run-time errors in the SNAP snapshot table. The dev_ and gw_ entries allow you to view files from the developer trace and Gateway Log in the ST11 transaction. If the suggestion in the first entry of the table is too restrictive, you can choose the alternative in the following table. This entry only forces a permission check on S_PATH and the ALL permission group; You should, however, only grant such permission very restrictively.
Secure your go-live additionally with "Shortcut for SAP systems". You can assign necessary SAP authorizations quickly and easily directly in the system.

This is the only way to achieve a balanced cost-benefit ratio.
