Data ownership concept
Prevent excessive permissions on HR reporting
In this article, I show you with which transaction you can easily and quickly run the authorization trace in SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA. The displayed result provides a good overview of the involved authorizations. In this course, existing roles and profiles in authorization management (transaction PFCG) can be extended. In addition, the authorization trace is useful for maintaining authorization default values (transactions SU22 and SU24).

So much information... how can you keep it so that you can find it again when you need it? Scribble Papers is a "note box" that makes this very easy.
The logging takes place in both the central system and the subsidiary systems. If the change documents are to be read for the attached subsidiary systems, the subsidiary systems must also be at the release and support package status specified in SAP Note 1902038. In addition, RFC users in their daughter systems need permission to read the change documents using the S_USER_SYS authorization object with the new activity 08 (Read the change document).
Use automatic synchronisation in central user management
Suggested values are maintained in the transaction SU24 and delivered through the transaction SU22. Read more about the differences between these two transactions. Maintaining suggestion values via the SU24 transaction is useful if you want to reflect your own requirements or if the values provided by SAP do not meet customer requirements (see Tip 37, "Making sense in maintaining suggestion values"). These proposed values form the basis for the role maintenance credentials in the PFCG transaction. As you know, the suggested values provided by SAP are in the transaction SU22, which are delivered during reinstallation or upgrades as well as in support packages or SAP hints. What is the difference between transactions and how are they used correctly?
In the SCUA transaction, which you typically use to create or delete a ZBV distribution model, you can temporarily disable a subsidiary system. This option is disabled by default. To enable it, you must make changes in the customising of the PRGN_CUST table. Open the PRGN_CUST table either directly or via the customising in the SPRO transaction in the respective subsidiary system.
With "Shortcut for SAP systems" you can automate the assignment of roles after a go-live.
Finally, you must include the new message definitions in your filters (transaction SM19).
In the process, the so-called user comparison takes place and the role-specific authorizations are stored in the user master record.
