Security Automation for SAP Security Checks
SAP license optimization
Reasons for incorrect organisational levels are values that have been manually maintained in the authorization object itself, instead of using the Origen button, as well as incorrect transports or incorrectly created or deleted organisational levels. Since correct inheritance can no longer occur in such cases, you need a way to reset incorrect values of the organisation levels in the PFCG roles.
SAP NetWeaver 7.31 introduces a new method for determining affected applications and roles by timestamping (see tip 45, "Using the timestamp in the transaction SU25"). With the Support Package 12 for NetWeaver Release 7.31 and Support Package 4 for NetWeaver Release 7.40 from SAP Note 1896191, the Expert Mode function for taking SU22 data for step 2 has been added.
Architecture of authorization concepts
To release jobs - own jobs or jobs of other users - a permission for the object S_BTCH_JOB with the expression JOBACTION = RELE is still required. In running operations, scheduled batch jobs may be cancelled because a step user is deleted or locked. With the help of the BTCAUX09 programme, you can check jobs as an administrator to see if they can be cancelled in the future. If you want to run these jobs under another step user, you can change them either with the transaction SM37 or with the report BTC_MASS_JOB_CHANGE.
Together with you, we develop suitable authorizations for your systems and processes. In workshops with your departments, we create concepts to assign the required rights to employees. The goal is to define so-called job roles, which represent job profiles at the job level.
"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.
Examples are EXEC SQL, which allows direct access to database tables bypassing certain security mechanisms, and CLIENT SPECIFIED, which allows access to data in other clients.
Maintain the proposed values for the application in the transaction SU24.
