Criticality
Roles and permissions in SAP SuccessFactors often grow organically and become confusing
To help you better find your own tables in the future, check your development policy to see if the storage is adequately described. If the development guidelines are not complete, you should supplement them. For example content for a development policy, see the DSAG Web site under Guides. Now go to https://www.dsag.de/go/leitfäden and search for "Best Practice Guide Development".
If these issues are not taken into account during a conversion, there will be an imbalance between the system and the components to be protected, since the change in the system constellation means that new components, such as those mentioned above, must also be taken into account. Otherwise, a company may suffer economic damage and the resulting damage to its image. Furthermore, neglect of legal requirements (BDSG, DSGVO, GOB, HGB, etc.)1 can lead to legal measures or steps.
SAP Authorization Trace - Simple Overview of Authorizations
Applications use the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK in the source code of the program to check whether the user has the appropriate authorizations and whether these authorizations are defined appropriately, that is, whether the user administrator has assigned the values required by the programmer for the fields. In this way, you can also protect transactions that are indirectly accessed by other programs. AUTHORITY-CHECK searches the profiles specified in the user master record for authorizations for the authorization object specified in the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement. If one of the determined authorizations matches one of the specified values, the check was successful.
SAP authorizations are a security-critical and thus an immensely important topic in companies. They are used not only to control the access options of users in the SAP system, but also the external and internal security of company data depends directly on the authorizations set.
With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you can automate the assignment of roles after a go-live.
