Introduction & Best Practices
Structural authorizations
To access business objects or execute SAP transactions, a user needs appropriate authorizations, since business objects or transactions are protected by authorization objects with multiple authorization fields. Authorizations represent instances of generic authorization objects and are defined depending on the employee's activity and responsibilities. The authorizations are combined in an authorization profile (Generated profile), which is assigned to a role. User administrators then assign the appropriate roles (single role or composite role) via the user master record so that the user can use the appropriate transactions for his or her tasks.
The ABAP authorization concept protects transactions, programs and services in SAP systems against unauthorized access. Based on the authorization concept, the administrator assigns authorizations to users that determine which actions a user is allowed to perform in the SAP system after logging on to the system and being authenticated.
SAP Data Analytics
In the only method of the BAdIs, CHANGE_ITEMS, programme the necessary checks, such as on specific data constellations or permissions. These can refer to all fields in the FAGLPOSX structure. You do this by specifying that all lines for which the test was not successful will be deleted during the execution of the method. This implementation of the BAdIs complements the Business Transaction Event 1650 described in the second example. You can also use the FB03 transaction to display receipts in the same way that you implement the FB03 filter. In this case, implement the required checks in the BAdI FI_AUTHORITY_ITEM.
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.
