Configure Security Audit Log
Use automatic synchronisation in central user management
Authorizations are the main controlling instrument for mapping risk management and compliance. They are used to control all processes in the systems. For the most part, separation of functions is implemented exclusively with authorizations. Therefore, not only the one-time setup of authorizations is relevant, but also the continuous monitoring and control of the authorization assignment. Various tools are available on the market for this purpose. A re-certification process that involves the departments and optimizes the revalidation of authorizations is helpful.
You should not grant large permissions for the SCC4 and SE06 transactions to internal and external auditors, just so that they can see the system modifiability. We present the report, which only requires the permissions a auditor usually has to view the system modifiability. There are several people who want to view the system modifiability settings in your system for specific reasons. These can be internal auditors, auditors or developers. The display of these settings, e.g. via the SCC4 or SE06 transactions, is not in itself critical; However, this has previously required permissions that are not usually assigned to the group of people just described. Since SAP NetWeaver 7.0, there is also a report that shows the system modifiability settings. This report requires only viewing permissions that can be assigned to the above-described group without any concerns. We present the application of this report and the required permissions here.
Excursus Special feature for authorizations for FIORI Apps under S/4HANA
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.
These single roles can also be combined into composite roles. I recently discussed the special features of this in the article "SAP Authorizations Mass Maintenance Single Role Assignments in Composite Roles per Function Module (FuBa) or Transaction Code", but here I would rather discuss the roles and assignment of authorization object field values in role maintenance with the PFCG for an authorization overview.
"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.
