Authorizations in SAP BW, HANA and BW/4HANA
ICS for business processes in SAP systems
You can automate the translation of the texts by using the LSMW transaction. This transaction is intended for migration tasks, but is also very well suited to allow a particular transaction to be repeated and automated. You record the execution of a transaction and get the variables of the text blocks (technical role name, role description, etc.). You can add values from an import file based on Microsoft Excel to each flow loop. For example, the Excel file contains a table with the columns Technical role name, description German, description English. The LSMW script works through the import file line by line and thus role by role.
Do you have considerable care effort due to additional roles that you cannot deduce? Create a new organisational level to solve your problems. In the SAP system, you can create derived roles for specific fields in authorization objects. This is possible only if these fields are organisation levels. Unfortunately, not all fields that you need as an organisation level are laid down in the standard as such, such as the cost centre. It may also be that you only use one sales organisation in your company and would therefore like to define the sales office. So there are several reasons why you want to define a field as an organisational level. We will explain how this works and what you need to consider.
Check for permissions on the old user group when assigning a new user group to a user
If you no longer need old audit results, you can archive or delete them with the transaction SAIS via the button (Administration of the Audit Environment). The audit results shall be selected on the basis of the audit structures, the test numbers or the entry date (see figure next page).
Another special feature of the role menu is the maintenance of object-based navigation. If a call to a transaction has been executed through a button in a Web Dynpro application, you must make the Object-based Navigation settings for the transaction to call. To do this, select the appropriate item in the (F4) Help. You may need to ask the developer of the application for navigation information.
"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.
If you want your own developments to meet your security requirements, just like the standard, you must assign table permission groups to the custom tables.
In contrast, you should consider transactions with a high level of usage and a large user circle (e.g. with more than ten users) in an SAP role concept.
