Critical authorizations
In the transaction, select SU10 by login data of users
Certain SAP authorizations, including those for table maintenance (S_TABU_*) require special attention for data protection reasons. These are known as critical authorizations. In the course of authorization planning, a company should determine which authorizations are to be considered critical, which roles may receive which critical authorizations or values for critical authorization fields, and so on. The German Federal Office for Information Security has compiled detailed information on defining critical authorizations.

Because certain types of permissions, such as analysis permissions, for SAP BW, or structural permissions in SAP ERP HCM are not based on SAP permission profiles, these permissions are not displayed or refreshed in the permission buffer. To analyse such eligibility issues, you must therefore use the appropriate tools, such as the HRAUTH transaction for SAP ERP HCM or the RSECADMIN transaction for SAP BW. The same applies to the Organisation Management buffer if you use indirect role mapping. Run the RHWFINDEXRESET report to reset the Organisation Management buffer. A prerequisite for the user buffer to be up-to-date is the correct user matching (green instead of yellow statusabilds on the Users tab).
User & Authorization Management with SIVIS as a Service
It's never too late to rethink your authorization concept. Start by defining the objective of each role and take advantage of the reporting offered in SAP SuccessFactors.

TMSADM: The user TMSADM serves the communication between SAP systems in the transport management system and is automatically created in the client 000 when they are configured. TMSADM only has the permissions to access the common transport directory, view in the change and transport management system, and the necessary RFC permissions. Safeguard measures: Change the user's passwords in each client. There is the report TMS_UPDATE_PWD_OF_TMSADM, which you have to start in the client 000. This is only possible if you have administrator privileges on all systems in the landscape and the password rules of the systems are compatible. After the report has been successfully passed, all TMSADM users of the landscape in the client 000 and their destinations have the same new password.

"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.

To store all the information on the subject of SAP - and others - in a knowledge database, Scribble Papers is suitable.

Do you want to keep track of what changes have been made to the Central User Management configuration or the distribution parameters for the User Master's Care? You can manage the change documents centrally.

The values of the profile parameters override the customising parameter entries to prevent invalid passwords from being generated.
