Manual authorizations
SAP systems: Control user authorizations with a concept
This representation has been chosen to show the differences in the classification of user types, because, despite the Global setting for the distribution parameter of the licence data (in the transaction SCUM), the settings in the ZBV may differ from those of the subsidiary system. In addition, you can add the columns ID in the report: Contractual User Type and ID: Show the value in central, which contains the technical values for the user type. If users on the daughter systems are not relevant for the licence measurement, the value User is irrelevant for the licence measurement in the column Contractual User Type. This value occurs for the following users: - technical user - user is not present - user is not valid - user is of type reference user.
The simulation of the mixing process is delivered with SAP Note 1941325. When you call step 2c, you will get a list of all the roles with the information about whether the respective role is already mixed (green light) or still needs to be mixed (red light). Highlight a role in this list. Use the Mix button to get the simulation of the mixing process for the selected roll.
Authorization roles (transaction PFCG)
You can use your own authorization objects to develop permission checks to authorise your custom applications or extend default permissions. So far, the maintenance of the authorization objects has been very unmanageable. Authorization objects can be displayed and recreated in the transaction SU21. Creating authorization objects over this transaction has not been very user-friendly. If the input was not done correctly, the dialogue was sometimes not transparent and confusing for the user. The same was true for storing a authorization object. Several pop-up windows indicate further care activities. Another problem is that the proof of use of the authorization object is limited to finding implementations of the authorization object. However, authorization objects are also used in other places, such as suggestion value maintenance and permission maintenance. Another problem is the use of namespaces. For SAPartner who want to maintain their permission checks in their namespaces, the classic name rooms, starting with J, are used up.
We therefore recommend that you schedule a background job on the PFUD transaction, which performs a regular user comparison (see Trick 17, "Schedule PFUD transaction on a regular basis"). By the way, did you know that the auth/tcodes_not_checked profile parameter enables you to disable the transaction startup permissions for the SU53 and SU56 transactions? To do this, enter the value SU53, SU56, or SU53 SU56 for the profile parameter. This means that the end user no longer needs the permissions to run these transaction codes from the S_TCODE authorization object.
The possibility of assigning authorizations during the go-live can be additionally secured by using "Shortcut for SAP systems".
Also continue with other authorization objects.
The usual space has a hexadecimal value of 20, but there are alternative spaces (wide spaces), which can be recognised, for example, as double width or not at all as character spacing.
