Critical authorizations
Know why which user has which SAP authorization
Historically grown authorization structures can be found especially in system landscapes that have been in operation for a long time. Instead of small, modular, job-specific roles, existing roles are continually expanded and assigned to different employees in different departments. While this leads to less administrative work in the short term, it causes the complexity of the role to increase massively over time. As a result, the efficiency of authorization development is increasingly lost.
An alternative to using the S_TABU_LIN authorization object is to create custom table views that make organisational delimitation easier to achieve. To do this, create a new view in the SE11 transaction and add the table to which the constraint will apply on the Tables/Join Conditions tab. The Selection Conditions tab allows you to specify your restrictive organisational condition in the form of a field and a field value. You then authorise all relevant users to access the view, which contains only data for your organisational restriction.

Which authorization objects are checked (SU22)? When calling a transaction, such as the ME23N, various authorization objects are checked. You can get an overview as follows: Call transaction SU22 (SAP tables) or SU24 (customer tables), enter e.g. "ME23N" in "Transaction code" and execute the transaction. As a result you will see all authorization objects that are checked when calling transaction ME23N.
Do you want to customise the settings for the Session Manager, Profile Generator and User Care? Use the parameters in the customising tables SSM_CID, SSM_CUST, SSM_COL, PRGN_CUST and USR_CUST. Here we show you the settings for the Session Manager, the Profile Generator or the User Care. How do I merge the user menu from different roles or disable it altogether? How can the generated passwords be adapted to your needs? How can you automatically perform user master matching after role assignments via the PFCG transaction? And how can you prevent assignments from being transported from users to roles? We'll show you how to make these settings.

This authorization object consists of three permission fields: COMP_NAME (name of a component), COMP_WIN (component window name), COMP_PLUG (inbound plug).
