Authorization tools are only as good as the person using them. Until now, no tool has made it possible to create ready-made authorization concepts with just a single click.
The chapter on authorization recertification should also be defined in the authorization concept, which is documented in writing. This refers to a regular review of the assigned authorizations in the SAP® system, to be performed at least once a year. In the course of this process, the responsible departments should review the assignment of the respective roles to users in their area and critically scrutinize it once again. This process ultimately ensures that users only have the authorizations in the SAP® system that they actually need. It must therefore be defined in which time period and in which form the departments must receive the information about the assigned authorizations and report back regarding the correctness of the assignment. During preparation, it is therefore necessary to check whether the process has been carried out in accordance with the internal specifications, but also in accordance with possible suggestions for optimization made by the auditor, and whether all the evidence is stored ready to hand for the auditor.
Know why which user has which SAP authorization
The setting of the modification flag used to determine the proposed values to be matched is imprecise. Learn about a new process that uses timestamps. Upgrade rework for suggestion values and roles must be performed not only upon release change, but also after inserting plug-ins, support packages, enhancement packages, or other software components, such as partner solutions. These rework can be complex if the underlying selection of proposed values cannot be restricted. Therefore, a new procedure has been introduced in the transaction SU25, which restricts the proposed values to be compared using a time stamp.
During go-live, the assignment of necessary authorizations is particularly time-critical. The "Shortcut for SAP systems" application provides functions for this purpose, so that the go-live does not get bogged down because of missing authorizations.
