The four important concepts of SAP security first require a certain amount of effort. They not only have to be coordinated, formulated and made available, but also continuously updated and, above all, actively implemented. Nevertheless, the return on investment is high, because they prepare for all eventualities, provide audit security, and also offer a high level of protection for the SAP system and thus for the company itself.
You can use the previously created organisational matrix to either mass create new role derivations (role derivation) or mass update role derivations (derived role organisational values update). For both scenarios, there are separate Web-Dynpro applications, in which you must select the corresponding reference roles.

A new transaction has been added to evaluate the system trace only for permission checks, which you can call STAUTHTRACE using the transaction and insert via the respective support package named in SAP Note 1603756. This is a short-term trace that can only be used as a permission trace on the current application server and clients. In the basic functions, it is identical to the system trace in transaction ST01; Unlike the system trace, however, only permission checks can be recorded and evaluated here.
Cybersecurity is a broad field. Starting with the technical infrastructure of companies and extending to the business processes in SAP systems. Such projects must be well planned and prepared. We have already seen some negative examples of companies that wanted too much at once and then "got it wrong." When it comes to securing business processes in particular, it is important to ensure that the employees affected are picked up and involved. Therefore, use a risk analysis to select the topics and processes that should be at the top of the list when securing.
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.
This makes authorization concepts, authorization tools and automated protection of the SAP system all the more important.
