Do not assign SAP_NEW
What to do when the auditor comes - Part 2: Authorizations and parameters
The other fields in the SMEN_BUFFC table describe the structure of the favourites, where the OBJECT_ID field is the unique key of the favourite entry. In the PARENT_ID field, you will find the parent item's object ID, and the MENU_LEVEL field describes the level of the entry in the favourite folder structure. You can read the order in which the favourite entries are sorted from the SORT_ORDER field.

Increased compliance requirements and the design of internal control systems confront companies with an increasing number of rules on how SAP (and other IT) systems must be technically protected. The SAP authorization concept specifies such legal standards and internal company rules. This ensures that each user only receives the authorizations he or she needs for his or her activities. The business risk can thus be reduced to a minimum.
Data ownership concept
SAP Note 1854561 provides a new possible value for the auth/authorisation_trace parameter: F (Trace enabled with filter). Allows you to limit the permission trace to values that can be set by the filter. The filters are defined in the STUSOBTRACE transaction (see SAP Note 1847663).

Check to see if there are any corrective recommendations to follow for your release. We recommend that you run the SU24_AUTO_REPAIR correction report before executing the transaction SU25 (see tip 38, "Use the SU22 and SU24 transactions correctly"). If necessary, run this report in the old lease, but in any case before importing the new proposal values. Use the test mode of the report to look at possible corrections in advance. In addition, to ensure that you do not lose information with your upgrade work, you can write and release the data from the SU24 transaction on step 3 (customer table transport) in the SU25 transaction to a transport order. This way, a backup of your SU24 data is made. Now the upgrade work can begin. Warning: Do not perform step 1 (customer tables were initially filled), because this overwrites the USOBT_C and USOBX_C customer tables, i.e. the SU24 data, completely with the SAP suggestion values. However, you want to keep your SU24 data and add to the proposed changes for the new release!

"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.

You will need to adapt the template to your organisation's circumstances, i.e., probably define the certificate filing depending on the naming convention for your users and adjust the certificate verification.

The website www.sap-corner.de offers a lot of useful information about SAP authorizations.


The Permissions > Reset User Buffer path allows you to reload the permission buffer for the displayed user.
