Essential authorizations and parameters in the SAP® environment
We are often asked how permissions are properly assigned to schedule background jobs and manage those jobs. Just follow the guidelines below. Whenever you want programmes to run periodically at specific times without user interaction, or when their runtime should not interfere with normal dialogue operations, schedule them as batch jobs in the background. The scheduling and editing of batch jobs is regulated by permissions, which are often not clear about their use. We therefore explain to you what permissions are necessary for and which authorization objects are important.
The SAP authorization concept ensures that no unauthorized access can be made to transactions, programs and services in SAP systems. To call up business objects or execute transactions in the SAP system, a user therefore requires the appropriate authorizations. When called, the application started via a transaction checks whether the authorization exists and whether the user is allowed to perform the selected operation.
Ensuring secure administration
If you select the SU24 Data Initialisation button, step 1 is the same and you overwrite your SU24 data with the SU22 data for the selected applications. The Auto Sync selection corresponds to step 2a. All new SU22 data will be transferred to the transaction SU24. Modified SU24 data is detected and must be matched manually. However, this information is provided to you in the Determined Synchronisation Status column. If you want to keep your SU24 data as it is for certain applications, select the button Set Status"Verified". To give you more transparency about the impact of your activities, there is a role usage proof via the Roles button. This allows you to check the roles in which the selected applications are used. With the Change Preview selection, you can see which suggestion values would be changed for your selection in the transaction SU24.
Database Schema Privileges permissions: Schema Privileges are SQL object permissions that control access to and modification of a (database) schema, including the objects contained in that schema. A user who has an Object Privilege for a schema also has the same Object Privilege for all objects in that schema.
However, if your Identity Management system is currently not available or the approval path is interrupted, you can still assign urgently needed authorizations with "Shortcut for SAP systems".
This is advantageous when individual background processing or activities are not executed correctly and the cause is suspected to be missing authorizations.
The website www.sap-corner.de offers a lot of useful information about SAP authorizations.
