Controlling permissions for the SAP NetWeaver Business Client
You probably know this. You find a specific customising table and you don't find it. Include the tables in the guide and they are easy to find. Customising is used by almost every SAP customer. Custom customising tables are created and standard programmes are extended. A custom programme that uses customising is written quickly. Project printing often lacks the time for sufficient documentation, for example in the SAP Solution Manager. The easiest way is to find customising tables where they are in the SAP standard: in the SAP Introductory Guide (IMG).

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.

Each UI component that can be clicked corresponds to an external service that must each have permission set up. UI components also include creating or calling stored searches or navigating from one record directly to another record, such as calling an appointment directly from a business partner; This corresponds to cross-navigation. All navigation options in the form of external services are defined in the customising of the CRM business role in the form of a generic outbound plug mapping to the navigation bar. Outbound Plugs (OP) define what happens when a user leaves a view in SAP CRM. Here the customising is set for scenarios that do not necessarily fit all CRM business roles. The corresponding CRM business roles have been configured to be associated with outbound plugs that are not required for the respective CRM business role scenario. This explains the large number of external services in the role menu.

Authorization: An authorization allows a user to perform a specific activity in the SAP system based on a set of authorization object field values. Authorizations allow users to perform actions within the system.

Authorizations can also be assigned via "Shortcut for SAP systems".

The website www.sap-corner.de offers many useful information about SAP basis.


Since unstructured authorizations not only create security and data protection gaps, but also complicate administration and cause problems during audits, unnecessary authorizations should be avoided.
