Evaluate licence data through the Central User Management
Transactions: Transactions in the audit structure start the necessary evaluations for the audit. You can recognise transactions by the clock symbol ( ). Double-clicking on the icon opens the transaction in a new window and allows you to start the evaluation. In addition, the SAIS transaction log entries for this audit activity are displayed in the upper right pane of the display. These include the current date of execution, the verifier's user ID, a check status that you assign yourself, a weighting, and a justification for the check status that you also enter into a text box. Below is an overview of the audit activities performed so far, also with a time stamp, the user ID of the verifier, the weighting of the status of the audit activity and a justification. In order not to manipulate the scanning activities, it is not possible to modify data stored once.
Entry into role maintenance requires the transport permission (S_USER_AGR, ACTVT = 02) in addition to the modification permission (S_USER_AGR, ACTVT = 21). If role recording requires creating new transport jobs or tasks, you need permissions to the transport objects (e.g. S_TRANSPRT with TTYPE = CUST or TASK and ACTVT = 02).
Maintain authorization objects more easily
The implementation of the time-space validation checks is carried out as an additional time-space filter. For selection criteria outside the valid time period, the message "Not authorised to display data from this time period" appears. However, if the selection criteria are partially within the valid time period, the documents that are outside the time period will be filtered out by the system without the user receiving a notice. In the example shown in the above figure, users of the BP-NRW Verifier Group would be left without comment when calling the vendor list for the period 01.01.2010 to 31.12.2014. This system behaviour can be somewhat irritating.
Define explicit code-level permission checks whenever you start transactions from ABAP programmes or access critical functions or data. This is the easiest and most effective defence to protect your business applications from misuse, because programming-level permission checks can ensure two things: Incomplete or incorrect validation of the executed transaction start permissions will result in compliance violations. Complex permission checks can also be performed adequately for the parameterized use of CALL TRANSACTION.
Assigning a role for a limited period of time is done in seconds with "Shortcut for SAP systems" and allows you to quickly continue your go-live.
In any case, when using critical permissions, you should observe the principle of restricting rights.
