Reference User
Law-critical authorizations
However, it is possible to include the same role in several tasks of different operators within each contract. This increases transparency for you, because all participants can instantly identify which users are editing the role. Before you enable the use of the SCC4 transaction setting for role maintenance, you should release existing role transports to avoid recording conflicts. As a rule, you do not choose the setting depending on your role-care processes; So you have to think very carefully about what the activation will do.
The SAP authorization concept also maps the organization of authorizations within the SAP system. The organizational structure defines responsibilities and the authorization hierarchy, while the process organization specifies process steps and the activities and authorization objects required for them in SAP. The authorization concept must therefore be flexible enough to allow future changes in the organization to be implemented quickly and in compliance with the rules.
Analyse and evaluate permissions using SAP Query
Reference users are not intended to access an SAP system, but are used for authorisation administration and therefore always have a disabled password. Reference users inherit the permissions assigned to them to the users with whom the reference user is registered. For this purpose, the user buffer of the reference user is also created at login and these entries are also checked during permission checks of the inheriting user.
To access business objects or execute SAP transactions, a user requires appropriate authorizations, since business objects or transactions are protected by authorization objects. The authorizations represent instances of the generic authorization objects and are defined according to the employee's activities and responsibilities. The authorizations are combined in an authorization profile that belongs to a role. User administrators then assign the appropriate roles to the employee via the user master record so that the employee can use the respective transactions for his or her tasks in the company.
"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.
Therefore, one of the following explicitly coded permission checks for the CALL TRANSACTION statement must be performed.
It is also possible to specify in the concept that, in the event of an emergency, extended authorization may be granted to other selected users; this is up to the company to decide.
