WHY ACCESS CONTROL
System trace function ST01
Put the values of the permission trace into the role menu: The applications (transactions, web-dynpro applications, RFCBausteine or web services) are detected through their startup permissions checks (S_TCODE, S_START, S_RFC, S_SERVICE) and can be added to the role menu of your role. In your role, go to the Menu tab and import these applications by clicking Apply Menus and selecting Import from Trace. A new window will open. Here you can evaluate the trace and view all recognised applications in the right window. To do this, click the Evaluate Trace button and select System Trace (ST01) > Local. In a new System Trace window, you can specify the evaluation criteria for the trace, such as the user using the Trace field only for users or the time period over which to record. Then click Evaluate. Then, in the right part of the window, you will see all the applications logged. Select the applications you want to apply to the Roles menu and click Apply. You can now decide how the applications appear in the Role menu. The application can be added to the role either as a permission proposal or as a menu item through the Add drop-down box. They can be displayed as a list or as a panel menu (insert as list) or according to the SAP menu tree in which the application is stored in the SAP menu (insert as SAP menu).
In many SAP environments, there are historically grown authorization structures that cause unnecessary security gaps. These should be examined closely.

Any deviation from the defined process must be fully documented and justified. This is because it is precisely deviations from the standard case that are of great interest to an auditor, as the auditor must determine whether a deviation could have an impact on the correctness of the data.
The possibility of assigning authorizations during the go-live can be additionally secured by using "Shortcut for SAP systems".
The website "www.sap-corner.de" offers a lot of useful information about SAP authorizations.
