What to do when the auditor comes - Part 1: Processes and documentation
Analyze user buffer SU56
In our eCATT test configuration, the prepared file can now be used to play the recording. Note that playback stops when we encounter an error in the PFCG transaction, such as when we try to create a role with the input values that already exist. To play, specify the file under External Variants in Test Configuration and click Run (F8). You will be given the opportunity to set some playback properties. Now, with Run, it starts. You will see some messages from the PFCG version at the bottom of the status bar and will end up with a summary of success (or failure if there were errors). We admit that eCATT is more complex to use than the transaction SU10. However, if you have used eCATT a few times, it is quite quick. Please always note that the basic mechanism is to play a recording and therefore other organisational levels (e.g. a third organisational level, which is in the dialogue before the work and the sales point) also require a different recording and editing.

You have developed applications yourself and would like to maintain suggestion values for them? The easiest way to do this is with the help of the permission trace. Permission checks are also performed on self-developed applications. These applications must therefore be included in the PFCG rolls. If they are maintained in a role menu, you will notice that in addition to the start permissions (such as S_TCODE), no other authorization objects are added to the PFCG role. The reason for this is that even for customer-specific applications suggestion values must be maintained to ensure that the PFCG role care runs according to the rules and to facilitate the care for you. Up to now, the values of customer-owned applications had to be either manually maintained in the PFCG role, or the suggested values maintenance in the transaction SU24 was performed manually.
Check for permissions on the old user group when assigning a new user group to a user
Note that the S_TCODE authorization object is always filled with the current transactions from the roles menu. If organisational levels are also included that are no longer required, they will be automatically deleted. If, however, organisational levels are added depending on the transaction, they should be maintained first in the eligibility maintenance.

This role is now available for you to assign to users. As a design-time object, you can transport this role via the HANA-owned Transport Service (HALM) or via the SAP Solution Manager with the CTS+ extension. After transport to the target system, this role is activated as a runtime object. You can assign HANA roles via both SAP HANA Studio and SAP Identity Management.

The possibility of assigning authorizations during the go-live can be additionally secured by using "Shortcut for SAP systems".

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.


In the left part of the window, you will see the permission values added to the suggestion values already visible.
