To release jobs - own jobs or jobs of other users - a permission for the object S_BTCH_JOB with the expression JOBACTION = RELE is still required. In running operations, scheduled batch jobs may be cancelled because a step user is deleted or locked. With the help of the BTCAUX09 programme, you can check jobs as an administrator to see if they can be cancelled in the future. If you want to run these jobs under another step user, you can change them either with the transaction SM37 or with the report BTC_MASS_JOB_CHANGE.
Structural authorizations
In the course of a comprehensive protection of your system from the inside as well as from the outside it is indispensable to have a closer look especially at the SAP standard users. They have far-reaching authorizations that can cause great damage to your system if misused. It should be noted that they are very important for the operational execution of your SAP system and must not be deleted. However, since the associated standard passwords can be quickly researched, they must be changed immediately after delivery of the SAP ERP. You can perform a detailed check of these users using report RSUSRS003. It is also recommended to set certain default users inactive until they are actually used.
The requirements for the architecture of authorization concepts are as individual as the requirements of each company. Therefore, there is no perfect template. Nevertheless, there are topics that should be considered in an authorization concept.
If you get into the situation that authorizations are required that were not considered in the role concept, "Shortcut for SAP systems" allows you to assign the complete authorization for the respective authorization object.
