SAP S/4HANA: Analysis and simple adjustment of your authorizations
Note that the SAP_NEW_ individual profiles should be retained themselves, so that at any given time, traceability is ensured as to which release and which permission was added. For more information, see SAP Notes 20534, 28175, and 28186. SAP Note 1711620 provides the functionality of an SAP_NEW role that replaces the SAP_NEW profile. If you have added this note, the profile will no longer be used. Instead, you can generate your PFCG role SAP_NEW by using the REGENERATE_SAP_NEW report. When you call the report, in the source and target release selections, type in the appropriate fields, and the role is created for that release difference.
Likewise, in addition to a statutory publication of the balance sheet and P&L (profit and loss) statement, internal evaluations can also be created. SAP FI has direct interfaces to other modules, such as HR or SD. For the Internet release of reports, it is necessary that an authorization group has been maintained for the respective report.
Use the authorisation route to identify proposed values for customer developments
When displaying or posting receipts in SAP Finance, are the standard eligibility checks insufficient? Use document validation, BTEs, or BAdIs for additional permission checks. The posting of documents, and often their display, is protected by standard permission checks; but they may not meet your requirements.
A typical application arises when a new SAP user is requested. The data owner now checks whether the person making the request and the person to be authorized are at all authorized to do so, what data would be affected, whether an SAP user already exists to whom new roles can be assigned and old ones revoked, whether data access can be limited in time, and so on.
For the assignment of existing roles, regular authorization workflows require a certain minimum of turnaround time, and not every approver is available at every go-live. With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you have options to assign urgently needed authorizations anyway and to additionally secure your go-live.
So what's the best way to do that?
The website www.sap-corner.de offers a lot of useful information about SAP authorizations.
The Security Audit Log now logs the table or view name and the scheduled activity of external table access via RFC connections; a new message type has been defined.
