Maintaining Authorization Objects (Transaction SU21)
Use table editing authorization objects
You can still assign roles and profiles to a user if you have the appropriate permissions to these activities. As long as no user group is associated with the user, permissions for any user group will be sufficient. If you assign a user group to the newly created user, all the checks will be repeated for that user group.
This solution is only available with a support package starting with SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.31 and requires a kernel patch. For details on the relevant support packages, see SAP Note 1750161. In addition, the SAP Cryptographic Library must be installed; but this is ensured by the required kernel patch. Only if you have manually made a different configuration, you must check this requirement.
System Users
A temporary shutdown of Central User Management is usually not recommended. However, in certain cases it may be necessary. We will show you what pre- and post-processing is required to avoid data inconsistencies. In complex SAP landscapes where the Central User Administration (ZBV) is used, there may be cases where you want to temporarily remove a subsidiary system from the ZBV without having to delete this system or shut down the entire ZBV, for example if you want to create users in a subsidiary system at short notice.
After clicking on this button, you will see the current ZBV status in the area of the same name and can release the selected system from the ZBV via the Run button. ZBV is no longer active for this subsidiary system. To avoid inconsistencies in the user master kits, you must reconcile the users in the daughter system after the ZBV is activated. You can do this in the transaction SCUG and transfer user data from the subsidiary system to the central system. Information on the technical requirements can be found in SAP Note 962457. To disable the ZBV completely, use the RSDELCUA report or the Delete button in the transaction SCUA. With this function you have the possibility to delete either only certain subsidiary systems from the ZBV or the complete ZBV.
Assigning a role for a limited period of time is done in seconds with "Shortcut for SAP systems" and allows you to quickly continue your go-live.
In order to get an overview of the organisations and their structure, we recommend that you call the Org-Copier (in read mode!) for the various organisational fields via the transactions EC01 to EC15.
At www.sap-corner.de you will also find a lot of useful information on the subject of SAP authorizations.
If certain people, such as team leaders, require extended authorizations, key user roles are developed for them, which extend the existing job role.
