General authorizations
Get an overview of the organisations and their dependencies maintained in the system
A prerequisite for the indirect assignment of PFCG roles is a well-maintained organisational model. This may correspond to a line organisation consisting of organisational units to which posts are assigned. Use an organisation chart to visualise the employee structure of the company or department for which you are to assign roles. Assign to the posts the people to whom a user is assigned as an attribute. In addition, you can also include other objects from HR organisation management, such as the posts describing the post and assigning roles.
In the SCUA transaction, which you typically use to create or delete a ZBV distribution model, you can temporarily disable a subsidiary system. This option is disabled by default. To enable it, you must make changes in the customising of the PRGN_CUST table. Open the PRGN_CUST table either directly or via the customising in the SPRO transaction in the respective subsidiary system.
Security in development systems
First, select the authorization object that you want to maintain. There can be multiple permissions for each authorization object. Then load the trace data by clicking the Evaluate Trace button. A new window will open again, where you can set the evaluation criteria for the trace and limit the filter for applications either to applications in the menu or to all applications. Once the trace has been evaluated, you will be presented with all checked permission values for the selected authorization object. With the Apply button, you can now take the values line by line, column by column, or field by field. In the left part of the window, you will see the permission values added to the suggestion values already visible. After confirming these entries, you will be returned to the detail view of your role. You can see here the additions to the permission values for your authorization object.
User trace - Transaction: STUSERTRACE - With the transaction STUSERTRACE you call the user trace. Basically, this is the authorization trace (transaction STUSOBTRACE), which filters for individual users. So you can call exactly the authorization trace and set the filter on a user. As with the authorization trace, the profile parameter "auth/authorization_trace" must be set accordingly in the parameter administration (transaction RZ10).
For the assignment of existing roles, regular authorization workflows require a certain minimum of turnaround time, and not every approver is available at every go-live. With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you have options to assign urgently needed authorizations anyway and to additionally secure your go-live.
This BAdI is also only available via a support package starting from SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.31.
Creating authorization objects over this transaction has not been very user-friendly.
