In addition to SAP book recommendations on SAP authorizations, I can also recommend the books from Espresso Tutorials such as "SAP Authorizations for Users and Beginners" by Andreas Prieß * or also the video tutorial "SAP Authorizations Basics - Techniques and Best Practices for More Security in SAP" by Tobias Harmes. Both are, among other media, also included in the Espresso Tutorials Flatrate, which I have also presented in more detail under SAP Know How.

You want to secure access to the application server files? Find out what the S_DATASET and S_PATH authorization objects offer, what limitations are, and what pitfalls are lurking. Access to the application server's files is protected by kernel-built permission checks, similar to how transactions and RFC function blocks are started. SAP's proposed permissions for the S_DATASET authorization object do not provide much help, and S_PATH has virtually no information, because you must activate this authorization object only by customising the SPTH table. Often the permissions to S_DATASET are too generous, the SPTH table is not well maintained and S_PATH is not used at all. Here we show you how these permissions work and how you can restrict them.
Basic administration
In many SAP environments, there are historically grown authorization structures that cause unnecessary security gaps. These should be examined closely.

However, a full SAP security audit does not end here. In addition, the auditor examines whether the four important concepts of SAP Security, namely the data ownership concept, the proprietary development concept, the authorization concept and the emergency user concept, meet the requirements. Each of them should represent a fully formulated document that, on the one hand, contains all the target specifications for the respective topic and, on the other hand, is consistent with the actual state found during the audit.

With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you can automate the assignment of roles after a go-live.

Wenn dies der Fall ist und das Passwort gerade geändert werden muss, wird diese Änderung vom Benutzer abgefragt.

In any case, when using critical permissions, you should observe the principle of restricting rights.
