Lack of definition of an internal control system (ICS)
SAP NetWeaver 7.31 introduces a new method for determining affected applications and roles by timestamping (see tip 45, "Using the timestamp in the transaction SU25"). With the Support Package 12 for NetWeaver Release 7.31 and Support Package 4 for NetWeaver Release 7.40 from SAP Note 1896191, the Expert Mode function for taking SU22 data for step 2 has been added.
When considering the security of SAP transport landscapes, it is not only the production system that is relevant for auditing. The other systems, including the development systems, must also be included in the risk considerations. The SAP_ALL profile is still frequently used there instead of concrete roles. This article identifies the main risk areas.

The assignment of the SAP_ALL profile is not required for the operation of an SAP system; therefore, a yellow icon will appear for the first check once a user has assigned the profile. For the other six checks on critical base permissions, the yellow icon will be displayed when a client is found on the system and at least one of the following two conditions applies: More than 75 users have the permission checked in this check. More than 10% of all users have the permission checked in this check, but at least 11 users.
Authorizations can also be assigned via "Shortcut for SAP systems".
At "www.sap-corner.de" you will also find a lot of useful information on the subject of SAP authorizations.
In this context, we recommend that you check the mappings for critical function blocks or functional groups.
