ACCESS CONTROL | AUTHORIZATION MANAGEMENT FOR SAP®
Analyze user buffer SU56
You can use the system trace function (transaction ST01) to record the authorization checks in all modes, if the trace and the transaction to be traced run on the same application server. All object fields and their values are recorded during the authorization object check.
The security policy was introduced with the SAP NetWeaver 7.31 release; for their use you need at least this release. Security policies thus replace the definition of password rules, password changes, and login restrictions via profile parameters. The security policy is assigned to the user in transaction SU01 on the Logon Data tab. Profile parameter settings remain relevant for user master records that have not been assigned a security policy. Some of the profile parameters are also not included in the security policy and therefore still need to be set system-wide. Security policy always includes all security policy attributes and their suggestion values. Of course, you can always adjust the proposed values according to your requirements. You define security policy about the SECPOL transaction. Select the attributes for which you want to maintain your own values and enter the values accordingly. The Descendable Entries button displays the attributes that are not different from the global entries.
User Information System SUIM
Another function of this transaction is to find transactions based on generic table access transactions. Here you can check whether there are parameter or variant transactions for a given table, or for a particular view, for which you can set up permissions, instead of allowing access to the table through generic table access tools. If a search result is generated, you can even search for roles that have permissions for the selected alternative applications. To do this, click the Roles button (Use in Single Roles). When using this tool, make sure that even if applications have the same startup properties, there may be different usage characteristics, such as SU22 and SU24 transactions. Both transactions have the same start properties, but are used for different purposes and display different data.
With the SAP NetWeaver 7.03 and 7.30 releases, Web Dynpro ABAP applications (as well as other Web Dynpro ABAP functions, see SAP Note 1413011) have been tested for permission to launch such applications. The authorization object that controls this startup permission is S_START. This authorization object is used in the same way as the S_TCODE authorization object.
With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you can automate the assignment of roles after a go-live.
You can find the report RSUSR010 in the User Information System under the entry Transactions > Executable Transactions (all selections).
In addition, it can be used when reports require permissions for info types that the user should not receive in other cases, which is more common.
