Trace after missing permissions
SAP Authorizations - A Common Perspective of Developers and Consultants
Giving permissions to specific functions that are called in SAP CRM through external services requires some preliminary work. Users working in SAP CRM use the SAP CRM Web Client to invoke CRM capabilities. For this to work smoothly, you must assign a CRM business role to the user, which provides all the CRM functionality necessary for the user. If the role should only allow access to certain external services, regardless of the customising (or only to the external services specified in the customising), it becomes a little trickier. All clickable elements in the SAP CRM Web Client, such as area start pages or logical links, are represented by CRM UI components. These UI components are, technically speaking, BSP applications. By clicking on such a component, the user gains access to certain CRM functions. These UI components are represented in the roles as external services. You must explicitly allow access to these UI components through PFCG roles, similar to the permissions for access to specific transactions.
In order to perform an operation in the SAP system, several authorizations may be required. The resulting interrelationships can become very complex. In order to nevertheless offer a procedure that is manageable and easy to handle, the SAP authorization concept was implemented on the basis of authorization objects. Several system elements to be protected form an authorization object.
Handle the default users and their initial passwords
Balance: In the settlement transactions, the user is only presented with the supporting documents for which he or she has permission. If the Profit Centre field is not filled in the journal view (Table BSEG), the general ledger view (usually Table FAGLFLEXA) is checked. To compensate, we recommend that you include the Profit Centre in the selection fields of the balancing transactions.
As in other systems, user maintenance and role/profile assignment must be restricted to the group of user administrators. In contrast to the previous systems, however, roles and profiles are maintained here, so that appropriate rights must be assigned to the role/profile administrators.
"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.
Each UI component that can be clicked corresponds to an external service that must each have permission set up.
The implementation of the potentials takes place within a few months.
