Copy values from the Clipboard to the transaction's PFCG permission fields
Goal of an authorization concept
Excel-based tools typically do not know the release-specific suggestion values (they often work without the in-system suggestion value mechanism, because they do not use the PFCG transaction). This also means that it is not possible to upgrade rolls with standard SAP tools, such as the SU25 transaction. This also increases the dependency on the external tool, and the authorisation system is further removed from the SAP standard and the best practices recommended by SAP in role management.
It is easier to specify the programme name in the PROGRAM field because the maximum value of 40 characters is the limit for programme names in the SAP NetWeaver application server ABAP. If it is a function block or a Web application, you can obtain the programme name by using the System Trace for Permissions (transaction ST01 or transaction STAUTHTRACE). In the SPTH table, you can define access rights for paths and whether you want to perform an additional permission check on the S_PATH object.
Communication User
A troublesome scenario you're probably familiar with: You will soon be going live with a new business process and must now derive your roles in 97 accounting circles. Here eCATT can make your life easier. It's time again: If you don't have anyone in your department who likes to press the Copy button for several hours in the PFCG transaction, replace the Derive shortcut, and then customise the Organisation Levels (Origen) in the new roles on the Permissions tab (repeatedly connected to memory), the job will hang on you. Because there is hardly anything more boring, at the latest after one hour the first errors creep in. Whenever you have to roll out new roles, for example for your new premium business, to all your divisions, plants, etc. , the creation of the derived roles is tedious - because SAP does not offer smart mass maintenance.
The evaluation performance of the Security Audit Log was optimised from SAP NetWeaver 7.31. For this extension, you need a kernel patch. For the fixes and an overview of the required support packages, see SAP Note 1810913.

Because it is a dynamic profile parameter, it is reset when the application server is launched.
So much information... how can you keep it so that you can find it again when you need it? Scribble Papers is a "note box" that makes this very easy.
Authorizations regulate the access of system users to system data and are therefore a fundamental prerequisite for the use of records and case management.
