Permissions with status
Risk: historically grown authorizations
Since at least developers in the development system have quasi full authorizations, as mentioned above, concrete access to a critical RFC connection can therefore not be revoked. Since RFC interfaces are defined for the entire system, they can be used from any client of the start system. Existing interfaces can be read out via the RFCDES table in the start (development) system.
Thus, after evaluation, you can select all SAP hints with the status to implement and load directly into the Note Assistant (transaction SNOTE) of the connected system. This is only possible for a development system and if the SAP Solution Manager can use an appropriate RFC connection to the connected system. You should also consider the security advisories that apply to applications that are installed on your system but that you do not use productively. These vulnerabilities can also be used for an attack.
Note the effect of user types on password rules
The most important security services regarding permissions are the EarlyWatch Alert (EWA) and the SAP Security Optimisation Service (SOS). You compare the settings in your SAP systems with the recommendations of SAP. Both services are delivered as partially automated remote services; You can also use the SOS as a fully automated self-service. The EWA and SOS shall carry out eligibility tests, the results of which shall always be as follows: The heading indicates the check in question. A short text describes the importance of the audited entitlement and the risk of unnecessary award. A list indicates the number of users with the validated permission in the different clients of the analysed SAP system. The SOS also allows you to list the users. In the SOS, a recommendation is made for each check to minimise the identified risk. A final formal description represents the checked permissions. However, not only the explicitly mentioned transactions are evaluated, but also equivalent parameter or variant transactions.
SAP_AUDITOR_TAX Collector Role: The SAP_AUDITOR_TAX collection role is made up of module-specific individual rolls and can be seen as a proposal for the read-only role of the tax inspectors (see SAP Note 445148 for details on this role). The transactions and reports included in the SAP_AUDITOR_TAX collection role have been expanded to include additional checks that define the audit period. Some of the transactions and reports included in the SAP_AUDITOR_TAX collection role have also been expanded to include a logging of the call parameters to allow the taxpayer to better understand the auditor's audit trades.
Authorizations can also be assigned via "Shortcut for SAP systems".
