Law-critical authorizations
Perform upgrade rework for Y landscapes permission proposal values
The difficulty in assigning permissions to the S_DATASET object is determining the correct values for the FILENAME and PROGRAMME fields. If you have not specified a path in the FILENAME field, only the files in the DIR_HOME directory will be allowed.
On the topic of SAP authorizations and SAP S/4HANA, I can recommend the SAP online course by Tobias Harmes as blended learning from Espresso Tutorials for SAP administrators, ABAP developers and people who are currently or will be dealing with SAP authorizations. The online course covers the following topics: - Introduction to the course - Why are SAP authorizations actually important? - How do SAP authorizations work technically? - Developing and maintaining roles - SAP Fiori authorizations/tile authorizations in S/4HANA - Developing authorization checks.
Maintain generated profile names in complex system landscapes
System users are also intended for anonymous access. They are used in technical operations that require a user, such as batch runs or RFC connections. With them, therefore, no dialogue login is possible on the SAP system, but only the login via RFC call. Multiple logins are always possible for a system user, and the password modification rules (see also the explanation under "Service Users") do not apply. The password of a system user always has the status Productive and can only be changed by the user administrator.
If you have an older SAP NetWeaver release than 7.00 installed, only two possible values for the customising switch BNAME_RESTRICT are available after the implementation of SAP Note 1731549. The switch is NO, and you can switch it to ALL, so that the switch takes on the same functionality as in the higher releases.
With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you can automate the assignment of roles after a go-live.
New technologies such as Fiori and Launchpads are challenges and reasons to rethink authorization structures.
These two values summarise the access types of the S_DATASET authorization object.
