General authorizations
System Security
EARLYWATCH: The user EARLYWATCH only exists in the client 066, because it serves the remote maintenance by the SAP support. EARLYWATCH only has display rights for performance and monitoring functions. Safeguard measures: Lock down the user EARLYWATCH and only unlock it when requested by SAP Support. Change the password, assign it to the SUPER user group, and log it with the Security Audit Log.
Typically, this includes permissions that can be used to delete change records in the system or electronically erase them. The traceability of changes is also important in the development system, which is why the authorizations listed below should only be assigned very restrictively or only to emergency users.
SAP systems: Control user authorizations with a concept
In order for these FIORI apps/tiles and groups to be displayed, the corresponding authorizations must be made on the basis of a group and catalog assignment. These are assigned via specific groups, which in addition to the normal authorizations (such as create, change, display cost centers) also assign access to the appropriate FIORI Apps.
See SAP Note 1763089 for information on the system requirements and support packages you need to access the new feature. With these support packages the transaction SAIS, the new AIS cockpit, is delivered. The AIS has thus been switched from the previous role concept to thematic audit structures and offers new functions, such as logging all audit activities. The AIS has existed in the SAP system for quite a long time; It is designed as a tool for testing and evaluating SAP systems and is delivered by SAP ERP to the standard. It includes the function of audit structures, a collection of audit functions on the areas of commercial audit and system audit, including their documentation. The commercial audit includes organisational overviews and balance sheet and process orientated functions. For example, this allows you to evaluate information about financial accounting and tax receipts. The AIS system audit covers general system audits and analysis of users and permissions. For example, it includes functionality to check profile parameters or transport.
For the assignment of existing roles, regular authorization workflows require a certain minimum of turnaround time, and not every approver is available at every go-live. With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you have options to assign urgently needed authorizations anyway and to additionally secure your go-live.
While ST11 opens almost all files without a path (they are in the DIR_HOME directory anyway), AL11 basically uses fully specified file names with a path.
Key users should be able to access certain reports regularly, but only read information relevant to their work.
