In order to be able to execute subsequent SAP standard reports, you need authorizations to access certain programs or reports and in the area of role maintenance. The transactions "SA38" and "SE38" for executing programs are of particular importance. They enable a far-reaching system analysis by means of certain programs for the end user. Additional rights associated with this, which can go beyond the basic rights of administrators, have to be controlled by explicit values in a dedicated manner.
You should archive all document types at the same time intervals; This is especially true for the US_USER and US_PASS archive objects. It is customary to keep the supporting documents between 12 and 18 months, as this corresponds to the retention periods for the revision. For performance reasons, if you want to archive in shorter intervals, you should always archive all archive objects at the same time and store the PFCG and IDENTITY archive object classes in separate archives. In this case, it may be useful to download the archived revision documents back to a shadow database to make them available for faster review. You can use the following reports: RSUSR_LOAD_FROM_ARCH_PROF_AUTH / RSUSR_LOAD_FROM_ARCHIVE. You can also archive the table change logs with the BC_DBLOGS archive object.
SAP S/4HANA® Launch Pack for Authorizations
No more users can be created, maintained or deleted without the assignment of a valid user group. If a user group is not assigned when a user is created, the user is automatically assigned the default user group. Before you set the USER_GRP_REQUIRED switch, a user group must have been assigned to each existing user and the administrators must have the permissions for the default user group. When creating a new user, the default user group will be used as pre-occupancy; this user group can be overridden by setting another user group in the S_USER_GRP_DEFAULT user parameter for each user administrator. The customising switch requires a valid user group, because it is used as the default user group. If a valid user group has not been entered in the customising switch, the user group is nevertheless a mandatory field. This will lead to errors in automated user creation.
The requirements in the third example to filter the Post Journal Display (transaction FAGLL03) can be implemented using the BAdIs FAGL_ITEMS_CH_DATA. Depending on the permissions granted, certain items or documents should be excluded from display. You can see the definition of BAdIs through the SE18 transaction, and in the SE19 transaction you create an implementation of the BAdIs in the Customer Name Room.
Authorizations can also be assigned via "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 order for a user to be assigned a suitable rating for an operational feature set in the Web application, the software developers in the transaction SU22 must connect all the authorization objects required for this application to the corresponding Web Dynpro application, i.e. not just S_START.
