Authorization check
Change documents
Developer and customizing authorizations represent a great potential danger in productive SAP systems. Here, authorizations must be assigned very restrictively, e.g. only to emergency users. The same applies to RFC connections from a development system to productive systems. Such connections can only be used to a very limited extent.

User Management
Here we present different scenarios for the process of resetting passwords. In all scenarios, the user selects the system and the client in which a password is to be reset from a web page. Only systems and clients where this user already exists and assigned a permission should be displayed. An initial password is then generated and sent to the user's email address. Only if a user lock is set by false logins, the user must be unlocked. If an administrator lock is in place, the user should be informed accordingly. Before implementing self-service, consider the password rules set in your systems and the use of security policies. Because these settings allow you to control how passwords are generated in your systems. We recommend that you read the instructions in Tips 4, "Set Password Parameters and Valid Signs for Passwords", and 5, "Define User Security Policy".
In addition, you can also define customised permission checks in the SOS and also define combinations of authorization objects and their values. You can create up to 1,000 custom permissions checks in the Check ID namespace 9000 to 9999. You can also redefine whitelists for these permission checks, which apply to either individual or all of the customer's permission checks. The configuration is described in SAP Note 837490.
If you get into the situation that authorizations are required that were not considered in the role concept, "Shortcut for SAP systems" allows you to assign the complete authorization for the respective authorization object.
In the simulation overview you will now receive all the information you already know from the authorisation maintenance in the transaction PFCG.

First, create an overview of the customising tables currently available in your system.
