A universally applicable template for a reliable and functioning authorization concept does not exist due to the individuality and the different processes within each company. Therefore, the structures of the company and the relevant processes must be analyzed in detail during the creation process. Some core elements of the authorization concept to be created can be defined in advance. These include the overarching goal, the legal framework, a naming convention, clarification of responsibilities and process flows for both user and authorization management, and the addition of special authorizations. Only with clearly defined responsibilities can the effectiveness of a concept be guaranteed.

The assignment of combinations of critical authorizations (e.g., posting an invoice and starting a payment run), commonly known as "segregation of duties conflicts," must also be reviewed and, if necessary, clarified with those responsible in the business departments as to why these exist in the system. If compensating controls have been implemented for this purpose, it is helpful if the IT department also knows about this so that it can name these controls to the IT auditor. The IT auditor can then pass this information on to his or her auditor colleagues.
SAP Authorizations - Overview HCM Authorization Concepts
SAP authorizations are a security-critical and thus an immensely important topic in companies. They are used not only to control the access options of users in the SAP system, but also the external and internal security of company data depends directly on the authorizations set.

Optional: S_PATH authorization object: If the test identifies 3 additional permissions checks for individual paths for the S_PATH authorization object, these are checked in the fourth step. The access type and the permission group stored in the SPTH table are checked.

Assigning a role for a limited period of time is done in seconds with "Shortcut for SAP systems" and allows you to quickly continue your go-live.

However, you do not want to display security-related tables.

Once you have determined that you want to add more fields to your check, assign your authorization object to the AAAA object class and create a new authorization object.
