Check the SAP authorization concept
Context-dependent authorizations
In this article, I show you with which transaction you can easily and quickly run the authorization trace in SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA. The displayed result provides a good overview of the involved authorizations. In this course, existing roles and profiles in authorization management (transaction PFCG) can be extended. In addition, the authorization trace is useful for maintaining authorization default values (transactions SU22 and SU24).

Balance: In the settlement transactions, the user is only presented with the supporting documents for which he or she has permission. If the Profit Centre field is not filled in the journal view (Table BSEG), the general ledger view (usually Table FAGLFLEXA) is checked. To compensate, we recommend that you include the Profit Centre in the selection fields of the balancing transactions.
Check current situation
Depending on the configuration of root data and processes, different permission checks can be relevant, so that it makes sense to adjust the proposed values. If custom applications have been created in the form of Z-transactions, Web-Dynpro applications, or external services, you must maintain suggestion values for these applications to avoid having manual permissions in the PFCG roles. You must ensure that custom applications are not always visible in the SU24 transaction. This is the case for TADIR services and external services. To learn how to make these services available for suggestion maintenance, see Tip 38, "Use the SU22 and SU24 transactions correctly.".

Different users in your SAP system will have different password rules, password changes, and login restrictions. The new security policy allows you to define these user-specific and client-specific. It happens again and again that there are special requirements for password rules, password changes and login restrictions for different users in your SAP system. There may be different reasons for this.

Authorizations can also be assigned via "Shortcut for SAP systems".

With these hints, the report RSUSR_LOCK_USERS is delivered or extended.

For example, queries against the P_TCODE, Q_TCODE, or S_TABU_DIS authorization objects.
