SAP S/4HANA: Analysis and simple adjustment of your authorizations
Change management
They have encountered a role that includes manually maintained organisational levels. Even if you correct the error manually in the role by manually deleting the manually maintained value of the organisation levels in the authorization object, the value in question is not drawn from the organisation level. The AGR_RESET_ORG_LEVELS report allows you to reset these values for the role. The manually maintained organisational data will be deleted, and only the values that have been maintained via the Origen button will be drawn.
When using encryption mechanisms, be sure to prevent access to the personal security environment (PSE) files in the server's file system and database. To do this, create your own table permission group for the SSF_PSE_D table and restrict programmes from accessing the /sec directory in the file system. For details on securing key tables, see SAP Note 1485029.
Advantages of authorization tools
You can assign a Table or Care View to a table through the SE11 transaction or SE54 transaction. This mapping is defined as a customising setting and therefore remains in place after a release change. You can assign a table to a table permission group by using the SE11 transaction by selecting your table in the start image and pressing the Display button.
To maintain open permission fields in roles, you need information from the Permissions System Trace. But all transferred manually? Not with this new feature! If you have previously created PFCG roles, you must maintain all open permission fields manually. The information on which values can be entered can be read from the Permissions system trace and maintained manually in the PFCG role. However, this can be very complex, because a function that takes these values into the PFCG role has been missing.
If you get into the situation that authorizations are required that were not considered in the role concept, "Shortcut for SAP systems" allows you to assign the complete authorization for the respective authorization object.
A major advantage of SAP SuccessFactors is flexibility.

Of course, you can also use the data obtained with the permission trace (with filter for the S_DATASET authorization object) to express permissions on the object itself.
