SAP Authorizations - Overview HCM Authorization Concepts
Depending on the transaction invoked, the application can be more granular checked by this additional permission check. Therefore, transactions that are called with additional parameters might require more than one authorization object and must be protected programmatically. The following listing shows an example of a permission check that ensures that the logged-in user has the permission to start the SU24 transaction.
It is very important that critical authorizations are generally subject to a monitoring process in order to be able to ensure that they are assigned in a productive system in a very restricted manner or not at all. Law-critical authorizations in particular, such as deleting all change documents, debugging ABAP programs with Replace, and deleting version histories, must never be assigned in a production system, as these authorizations can be used to violate the erasure ban, among other things. It must therefore be ensured that these authorizations have not been assigned to any user, not even to SAP® base administrators.

All external services with their suggested values can be viewed or maintained in the transaction SU24. Access to external services or all CRM functions and data within CRM functions is realised via PFCG roles. To create these PFCG roles, you must first create a role menu. To do this, run the report CRMD_UI_ROLE_PREPARE. You can specify either the name of the CRM Business Role (User Role) or the name of the assigned PFCG role. It is also important that you specify the language in which the PFCG role will be maintained in the appropriate field.
Here, the authorizations are either derived from the role menu (through the authorization default values (transaction SU24) or can also be edited manually in expert mode. The individual authorization objects are divided into object classes. For example, the object class AAAB (cross-application authorization objects) contains the authorization object S_TCODE (transaction code check at transaction start) with the authorization field value TCD (transaction code).
However, if your Identity Management system is currently not available or the approval path is interrupted, you can still assign urgently needed authorizations with "Shortcut for SAP systems".
If new permissions are added to the permission tree during this comparison, they will be marked with the Update status New.
