A careless handling of the permissions with sensitive employee data can go quite nicely in the pants. Prevent uncontrolled and extensive reporting access to your HCM data by properly using the P_ABAP authorization object. In many companies, the correct use of P_ABAP is not known. As a result, there are often false expressions that, in the worst case, allow uncontrolled reporting access to all data in the logical database PNPCE (or PNP). This way, you can again erase your access restrictions, which were previously painstakingly defined in a permission concept. Therefore, it is necessary to test the use of P_ABAP in individual cases and to use the existing limitations. In the following we describe the logic behind this authorization object and what it is important to avoid.

In order to use the statistical usage data, you must first extend the default SAP value of the retention time to a reasonable period of time. For a representative period, a minimum of 14 months and a maximum of 24 months shall be sufficient. This includes day-to-day business, monthly financial statements, underyear activities such as inventory and annual financial statements. Now call the transaction ST03N and navigate to: Collector & Perf. Database > Performance Database > Workload Collector Database > Reorganisation > Control Panel.
Authorization concept - recertification process
Once you have logged in, the permissions associated with your user (via the user account) will be available. Each of your actions leads to the use of runtime versions of the corresponding objects. This also applies to every privilege and role. Runtime versions of rolls are not transportable in SAP HANA. However, in order to achieve a high quality in the development of your applications, you should use a system landscape with development system (DEV), quality assurance system (QAS) and productive system (PRD). To enable you to translate development results to QAD and PRD, SAP HANA Studio provides you with the opportunity to create objects in a (freely definable) Design Time Repository that you can provide and transport via Delivery Units to other systems.

The SAP_NEW profile is basically designed to bridge the release differences in eligibility checks after an upgrade and ensure that the established business processes remain executable after an upgrade. The SAP_NEW permission should only be assigned temporarily and only in emergencies in a productive SAP system after an upgrade.

Authorizations can also be assigned via "Shortcut for SAP systems".

For example, you should increase the value of stat/rfcrec to 30, and stat/rfc/distinct should be set to 1.

Note that when mixing the single reel with the reel collectors, you will need to maintain the RFC connection in the roll menu of the pulley!
