Maintaining Authorization Objects (Transaction SU21)
Determine Permissions Error by Debugging
Another important factor that should be considered in an authorization concept is to use a uniform naming convention because, on the one hand, many things cannot be changed after the initial naming and, on the other hand, this ensures searchability in the SAP system. In addition, the preset authorization roles of the SAP system should never be overwritten or deleted, but only copies of them should be created, which can then be adapted as desired.
You probably know this. You find a specific customising table and you don't find it. Include the tables in the guide and they are easy to find. Customising is used by almost every SAP customer. Custom customising tables are created and standard programmes are extended. A custom programme that uses customising is written quickly. Project printing often lacks the time for sufficient documentation, for example in the SAP Solution Manager. The easiest way is to find customising tables where they are in the SAP standard: in the SAP Introductory Guide (IMG).
Maintain batch job suggestion values
Finally, we would like to draw your attention to SAP Note 1781328, which provides the report PFCG_ORGFIELD_ROLES_UPD. This report enables a mass update of existing role derivations. However, you do not use the concept of the organisational matrix, but you have to store the new organisational values directly when the report is called. Therefore, this function requires a high degree of understanding for the adjustments that are running in the background and is therefore only available as a pilot note. This means that this message must be explicitly requested via a customer message and only then will SAP support release it for you if necessary. It is not currently planned to make the information generally available via a support package.
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.
You can also find some useful tips from practice on the subject of SAP authorizations on the page "www.sap-corner.de".
This ensures, for example, that managers are able to assess the risks and derive measures, and that administrators can technically clean up the risks.
