Authorization objects
List of required organisational levels and their value
Regardless of whether you select the degree of simplification COARS = 1 or 2, you should not enter * or SAPDBPNP (programme name of logical database PNP) in the REPID field. With these values, you allow access to the logical databases SAPDBPNP and SAPDBPAP and thus to all contained root data.
A text file is now created under the appropriate path, containing the desired format with the input parameters. Open the data with Microsoft Excel and set your target value list. To do so, delete the line *ECATTDEFAULT. In the VARIANT column, you can simply use a sequential numbering. Save the file in text format, not in any Excel format.
Grant permissions for SAP background processing
The critical permissions are defined in these steps: On the Entry screen, select the Critical Permissions button. You will now see two folder pairs in the dialogue tree: - Critical Permissions > Critical Permission - Critical Permission > Permissions Data. In Change Mode in the lower folder hierarchy, double-click the Critical Permission folder, and then select New Entries. In the right-hand pane of the screen, enter the appropriate data for the Eligibility, Text, Colour, and Transaction Code fields. Save your input. When saving, you are asked for a customising job. Please specify it accordingly. Select the entry you just created and double-click to open the Permissions Data folder to maintain the permissions data. Then create a variant. To do this, double-click the Variants to Critical Permissions folder and select New Entries. Enter the name and description of the variant and save your input. Now assign the identifier of the created critical permission to the variant. To do this, select the variant and then double-click in the Variants subfolder to get critical permissions > critical permissions in the input mask. Now click on New Items and select your variant from the list - in our example ZB01. Then save your input. Finally, you can run your report variant with critical permissions. To do this, go back to the RSUSR008_009_NEW entry screen and select the critical permissions option in the variant name pane. Now use the Value Help to select and run the variant you just created.
With regard to the SAP authorization system, roles and the associated authorization objects, fields and values represent the foundation. Therefore, these check criteria are in the special focus of the authorization analysis of security-relevant characteristics of each authorization administrator. The report RSUSRAUTH is used to display role or authorization data in the respective client. The report analyzes all role data that are anchored in the table AGR_1251. This allows you to quickly find and clean up incorrect and security-critical authorizations not only by selecting the maintenance status of the authorizations, but above all by storing certain authorization objects and controlling them. This ad hoc analysis thus offers you a time-saving method of checking many roles at once according to your own critical characteristics. You can then make full use of this program by importing SAP Note 2069683.
Secure your go-live additionally with "Shortcut for SAP systems". You can assign necessary SAP authorizations quickly and easily directly in the system.
In the SU20 transaction, verify that the required fields may already exist as permission fields.
As described in Tip 43, "Customising Permissions After Upgrading," administrators may see some upgrade work as a black box.
