Permissions checks
Use automatic synchronisation in central user management
The concept for in-house developments is obligatory for every company that writes its own software. It specifies requirements, for example, for the structure, naming and documentation of program components, and in particular for dealing with safety-critical aspects. The wording should not be too general, but should explicitly address the special features of programming in SAP.
First, create an overview of the customising tables currently available in your system. To do this, open the DD02L table and search for tables that start with Y, Z or your specific customer name space. Tables with delivery class C (such as customising, found in column A) are the relevant tables in this context. The descriptive texts to the tables can be found in the table DD02T.
Customizing
Then you create a subroutine with the same name as the User-Exit definition and programme your customised checks (for example, for specific data constellations or permissions). Include the exit definition (UGALI) via the GGB0 transaction. You will need to call this transaction again to read the programmed exit and select it.
Always make sure you use the latest version of the Note Assistant. To do this, look for SAP hints about the BC-UPG-NA component in the system recommendations. We also recommend that you perform the security patch process as part of a release or support package upgrade to avoid additional testing by security advisories already released at the time of the upgrade.
During go-live, the assignment of necessary authorizations is particularly time-critical. The "Shortcut for SAP systems" application provides functions for this purpose, so that the go-live does not get bogged down because of missing authorizations.
The actual function of the alternative application should not be used.
The website www.sap-corner.de offers a lot of useful information about SAP authorizations.
Often it makes sense to break down into SAP components such as finance, controlling and sales.
