Goal of an authorization concept
SAP S/4HANA® migration audit
In IT systems to which different users have access, the authorizations usually differ. How an authorization concept for SAP systems and the new SAP S/4HANA for Group Reporting can look.
If you want to maintain authorizations and profiles manually, you need to know all SAP authorization components in detail. When using the Profile Generator, on the other hand, you do not need such detailed knowledge. This considerably reduces the time and effort required to implement the SAP system.
WHY ACCESS CONTROL
A major advantage of SAP SuccessFactors is flexibility. Different project teams can implement and use several modules, processes or add-ons in a short time. The processes can be optimized again and again. A central basis for extensively digitized processes are structured specifications that regulate system access and control access rights. In this context, SAP offers the concept of role-based authorizations. Role-based SAP authorizations grant different groups of people different options for action and views in the system, e.g., regulate access to salary data. Role-based authorizations are flexible and facilitate global implementations of SAP SuccessFactors, e.g. in different national companies. Once implemented, roles and their authorizations can be quickly rolled out to the new region. The roles do not have to be completely reconfigured each time. Slight adjustments are all that is required.
Additional permission check on the S_RZL_ADM authorization object: For security reasons, an additional permission check is performed on the S_RZL_ADM authorization object for special PSE (Personal Security Environment) files with access type 01 (Create). These files are called *.pse and cred_v2. These files are required for single sign-on, encryption and digital signatures. They are maintained using the transaction STRUST and the transaction STRUSTSSO2, which require the same permission (see SAP Note 1497104 for details).
"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.
Tax reporting: The tax reporting system in SAP is based on the accounting area.
Since RFC interfaces are defined for the entire system, they can be used from any client of the start system.
