Use timestamp in transaction SU25

Although it is possible to create profiles manually, it is recommended to work with the profile generator. The Profile Generator allows you to automatically create profiles and assign them to user master records. The Profile Generator is used to simplify and speed up user administration and should always be used when setting up authorizations for your employees. The Profile Generator is also used to set up the user menus that appear when users log on to the SAP system.

The SAP administrator uses the concept to assign users their dedicated authorizations. Behind these is a checking mechanism based on so-called authorization objects, by which the objects or transactions are protected. An authorization object can comprise up to ten authorization fields. This allows complex authorization checks that are bound to several conditions.

The changes made by inserting the note or upgrading to the above support packages do not only affect the SAP_ALL profile. While it remains possible to assign the full RFC_SYSID, RFC_CLIENT, and RFC_USER permissions in principle; However, this can only be done manually in the PFCG transaction through the dialogue maintenance of the fields. In this case, another dialogue box will open, indicating the security risk. You must confirm this window. From this change of behaviour of the SAP_ALL profile, it follows that all automatic methods for taking over the overall authorisation are no longer available in the fields of the S_RFCACL authorization object.

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.

A short text describes the importance of the audited entitlement and the risk of unnecessary award.
