Mitigating GRC risks for SAP systems
Translating texts into permission roles
All permission checks are issued in table form as an ALV list. You can sort or filter this list by column. Furthermore, all the new features of the transaction ST01, which we listed at the beginning of this tip, have been applied for evaluation. Double-clicking on a authorization object will direct you to the authorization object definition, and double-clicking on the transaction will direct you to the programme location where the permission check is performed. For more tips on how to use this trace, see Tip 32, "Maintain permission values using trace evaluations," and Tip 39, "Maintain suggestion values using trace evaluations.".
If you select the SU24 Data Initialisation button, step 1 is the same and you overwrite your SU24 data with the SU22 data for the selected applications. The Auto Sync selection corresponds to step 2a. All new SU22 data will be transferred to the transaction SU24. Modified SU24 data is detected and must be matched manually. However, this information is provided to you in the Determined Synchronisation Status column. If you want to keep your SU24 data as it is for certain applications, select the button Set Status"Verified". To give you more transparency about the impact of your activities, there is a role usage proof via the Roles button. This allows you to check the roles in which the selected applications are used. With the Change Preview selection, you can see which suggestion values would be changed for your selection in the transaction SU24.
Schedule PFUD transaction on a regular basis
From release 10.1, SAP Access Control supports the creation of users and the assignment of roles and privileges in HANA databases. If you use the concept of business roles in SAP Access Control, you can achieve an automatic installation of the users in SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP and HANA database and the assignment of the ABAP and HANA technical roles (or privileges) when assigning a business role.
With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you can automate the assignment of roles after a go-live.

The user administration process, i.e. user creation, modification and deactivation, should on the one hand be available in written documented form, either as a separate document or as part of the authorization concept documented in writing, and on the other hand also be carried out in accordance with the documentation.
