ICS for business processes in SAP systems
Structural authorizations
Launch the QuickViewer for SAP Query with the SQVI transaction. Create a new query named ZMYSUIM on the entry screen. Enter a description of it and - this is the most important step - specify a table join as the data source. You can now specify your data sources on the following screen. You can select the tables in the menu via Edit > Insert Table (or by pressing the button ). In our case, this would be the AGR_ 1251 table for the Role Permissions Values and the AGR_USERS table for the user assignments in rolls. The system automatically proposes a join of the tables via shared data columns. In our example, this is the name of the role.
Define explicit code-level permission checks whenever you start transactions from ABAP programmes or access critical functions or data. This is the easiest and most effective defence to protect your business applications from misuse, because programming-level permission checks can ensure two things: Incomplete or incorrect validation of the executed transaction start permissions will result in compliance violations. Complex permission checks can also be performed adequately for the parameterized use of CALL TRANSACTION.
Optimise trace analysis
Conceptually, the user types Database User and Technical User are distinguished. Database users are users that represent a real person in the database. As soon as a Database User is deleted, all (!) database objects created by this Database User are also deleted. Technical users are users who perform technical tasks in the database. Examples include the SYS and _SYS_REPO users, which allow administrative tasks such as creating a new database object or assigning privileges.
The SAP_NEW profile is basically designed to bridge the release differences in eligibility checks after an upgrade and ensure that the established business processes remain executable after an upgrade. The SAP_NEW permission should only be assigned temporarily and only in emergencies in a productive SAP system after an upgrade.
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.
A password lock only prevents a user from logging in via his password, because the number of errors is only evaluated if the login is done by password.
For example, if only the HR department has access to the SAP HCM system.
