Further training in the area of authorization management
Advantages of authorization concepts
After you have completed the development of the User-Exit, you still need to transport your validation. To do this, navigate back and highlight the validation you have created. You can now include the objects in a transport order using the Validation > Transport menu path. Finally, you need to activate your validation via the OB28 transaction. Please note that this is only possible for one validation (with several steps if necessary) per booking circle and time. Now your validation will be carried out with additional checks during the document booking via an interface.
You can influence the default behaviour of various transactions and parameters with the customising switches for the maintenance of Session Manager and Profile Generator as well as the user and permission management. The SSM_CID table gives you an overview of all customising switches supplied by SAP, specifying the relevant tables SSM_CUST, SSM_COL, PRGN_CUST and USR_CUST. The short description of the customising switch refers to the relevant and current SAP references. The actual settings can be found in the SSM_CUST, PRGN_CUST and USR_CUST tables.

In the SU53 you get the entry of the user that is stored there, and this may be old. So it is better to let the user himself display the authorization error via the menu. Maybe you create a small docu for all your users how to display the error and where to send it, so a "Cooking Recipe: How To...". In the SU53 error excerpt, the first thing that is displayed is the authorization that the user is missing. So this object has to be analyzed. In the further part of the error message, the permissions assigned to the user are displayed. This information can be used to classify the user with his role set, where he belongs etc. Finally, in our case 1, we now have the missing authorization and must now clarify whether the user should receive this authorization or not. In addition the specialist department must be contacted, which has to decide whether the user receives the permission! It can happen that the problem reported by the user is not an authorization problem at all. Then the last authorization error is displayed in the SU53 area, which is not the cause of the error at all. Therefore, it is always good to have a screen image of the actual error message sent to you as well. It is not uncommon for developers to issue an authorization error of the type "No authorization for..." from their programs, but they have not checked this with a standard authorization check at all, so that the error is not an actual authorization error.
Different users in your SAP system will have different password rules, password changes, and login restrictions. The new security policy allows you to define these user-specific and client-specific. It happens again and again that there are special requirements for password rules, password changes and login restrictions for different users in your SAP system. There may be different reasons for this.
"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.
An alternative to using the S_TABU_LIN authorization object is to create custom table views that make organisational delimitation easier to achieve.
The website www.sap-corner.de offers a lot of useful information about SAP authorizations.
There you can check the concrete value expressions of the S_START permission fields and, if necessary, the additional relevant authorization objects for this Web application and supplement them if necessary.
