ACCESS CONTROL | AUTHORIZATION MANAGEMENT FOR SAP®
Authorization concept
Eligibility objects that were visible in the permission trace are quickly inserted in rolls. But are they really necessary? Are these possibly even critical permissions? A review of the Permissions Concept can reveal that critical permissions are in your end-user roles. We would like to give you some examples of critical permissions in this tip. It is helpful to know which authorization objects are covered by the critical permissions. They must also ask themselves whether the granting of these allowances entails risks.
Authorization tools in the SAP GRC Suite ensure that every company can design a highly automated compliance management system that fits exactly. The majority of German companies with an SAP system do not yet use authorization tools. However, the use of SAP authorization tools is a great advantage for many companies. The extent to which the use of authorization tools makes sense depends on the size of a company.

A note on the underlying USKRIA table: This table is independent of the client. For this reason, you cannot maintain this table in systems that are locked against cross-client customising. In this case, you should create a transport order in the development system and transport the table to the production system.
SAP Note 1707841 ships an extension to the system trace in the STAUTHTRACE transaction, which enables the permission trace to be used on all or on specific application servers. To select the application servers on which to start the trace, click the System Trace button. Now select the application servers in the list on which you want to run the system trace and start the trace with a click on Trace. In the evaluation of the Permission trace, an additional column named Server Name appears, showing you the name of the application server on which the respective permission checks were logged.
If you get into the situation that authorizations are required that were not considered in the role concept, "Shortcut for SAP systems" allows you to assign the complete authorization for the respective authorization object.
These include the current date of execution, the verifier's user ID, a check status that you assign yourself, a weighting, and a justification for the check status that you also enter into a text box.
During an upgrade, changes and enhancements to permissions checks are included in SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP.
