Assignment of critical authorizations and handling of critical users
They have encountered a role that includes manually maintained organisational levels. Even if you correct the error manually in the role by manually deleting the manually maintained value of the organisation levels in the authorization object, the value in question is not drawn from the organisation level. The AGR_RESET_ORG_LEVELS report allows you to reset these values for the role. The manually maintained organisational data will be deleted, and only the values that have been maintained via the Origen button will be drawn.
The Three Lines of Defense model is used to systematically approach risks that may arise in companies. It integrates operational controls as well as risk management, information security, and internal auditing. It can be used to assess and classify the risks arising from SAP authorizations. The monitoring of risks is incorporated into the processes, so that there is constant control by various bodies. This reduces the risks considerably and ensures a clean authorization assignment.
Data ownership concept
You assign a reference user to a dialogue user by registering the reference user for additional rights in the SU01 transaction on the Roles tab in the Reference User field. If you are using Central User Administration (ZBV), the assignment applies to all connected systems. If the reference user does not exist in one of the systems, the mapping is ignored. However, the use of reference users also creates risks. This makes it easier to summarise permissions because it is difficult to keep track of the assigned permissions. In SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.0 and above, reference users are considered in the reports of the user information system.
SAP authorizations control the access options of users in an SAP system - for example, to personal data. Secure management of this access is essential for every company. This makes authorization concepts, authorization tools and automated protection of the SAP system all the more important in order to meet the stringent legal requirements with little administrative effort.
However, if your Identity Management system is currently not available or the approval path is interrupted, you can still assign urgently needed authorizations with "Shortcut for SAP systems".
First, you should severely limit access to the tables where the hash values of the passwords are stored.

Developer and customizing authorizations represent a great potential danger in productive SAP systems.
