Permissions and User Root Sets Evaluations
Using suggestion values and how to upgrade
Secure management of access options in the SAP system is essential for any company. This makes it all the more important to analyze and improve the authorizations assigned. This step serves as optimal preparation for your S/4 HANA migration. Managed Services supports central and efficient administration to ensure an optimal overview. In order to sustainably improve your processes, a database provides information on possible optimizations for SAP licenses.
Furthermore, the statistical data of other users (user activities, such as executed reports and transactions) should be classified as sensitive, since it may be possible to draw conclusions about work behavior using this data. This data can be displayed using transaction ST03N, for example. Access authorizations to the two types of data mentioned above should be assigned only very restrictively.
Implementing the authorization concept in the FIORI interface
In the Output pane, you can view the change documents of a remote subsidiary system, or in the Selection Criteria pane, you can restrict the change documents for the central system (transmit system) or only for specific daughter systems. In the lower part, you can select the distribution parameters that you are interested in changing. The evaluation includes information about all changes in the ZBV configuration and in the attached subsidiary systems, as of the time the corresponding release or support package was inserted into the systems. In addition to the date, time and modifier, the evaluation also contains information about the respective model view, the status of the configured system and the action taken (old value and new value). In our example, you will see changes that have occurred in the SCUA transaction, such as creating a model view and adding subsidiary systems, changes made in the SCUG transaction, such as the user adoption, and changes to the distribution parameters in the SCUM transaction.
You can maintain the SE97 transaction to determine whether or not a transaction should start at origin. The information in this transaction comes from the TCDCOUPLES table and is included. You have the possibility to amend or supplement the proposals listed here. When the CALL TRANSACTION statement is invoked, additional transaction code pairings are written to the TCDCOUPLES table by activating the authorisation trace through the auth/authorisation_trace profile parameter. The check mark indicates whether the test is carried out. By default, it is set to unkempt after performing the trace. If the check mark is set to YES, the transaction startup permission is performed with the S_TCODE object. If applicable, other permissions maintained by the SE93 transaction are also checked when the transaction is called.
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.
According to our project experience, some naming conventions are particularly attractive.

We recommend that you deal with the results of the SOS as follows: Verify that all identified users require critical permission.
