Authorization object documentation

Permissions are often not restricted because there is often no information about how the object should be shaped. The identification of the required functional components is often considered to be too burdensome and the risks from a lack of limitation are considered to be too low.
The website www.sap-corner.de offers a lot of useful information about SAP authorizations.
The freeware Scribble Papers is a "note box" in which all kinds of data can be stored. It takes in typed texts as well as graphics and entire documents. The data is then organised in folders and pages.
Since at least developers in the development system have quasi full authorizations, as mentioned above, concrete access to a critical RFC connection can therefore not be revoked. Since RFC interfaces are defined for the entire system, they can be used from any client of the start system. Existing interfaces can be read out via the RFCDES table in the start (development) system.
Emergency user concept
Two other very important settings are the activation of the security audit log and the table logging. Both parameters must be activated in order to ensure traceability at the user level as well as at the table level. It should therefore be checked whether the detailed settings for the security audit log are set up in accordance with the company's specifications and, in any case, whether all users with comprehensive authorizations, such as SAP_ALL, are fully covered by the logging without exception.
The SAP Solution Manager is the central platform for all technically supported services, because information about the connected systems is available when you schedule data collections for these systems via background jobs. The documentation for the safe operation of SAP systems is compiled in the SAP End-to-End Solution Operations Standard for Security (Secure Operations Standard). It provides an overview of security aspects of SAP operations and is designed to guide you through the available information and recommendations and to refer you to relevant content.
"Shortcut for SAP systems" is a tool that enables the assignment of authorizations even if the IdM system fails.
For the ABAP stack, authorization profiles can be created either manually or by using the profile generator.
