Complex process: user and authorization management in SAP ERP
Numerous medium-sized companies in the manufacturing industry rely on SAP. Smooth processes require that user authorizations are implemented correctly. A central task in access management is to keep an eye on roles, authorizations and access.
“As a rule, an SAP role and authorization concept has to be created and implemented manually. Depending on the size of the company and its processes, this can be extremely time-consuming and costly," says Bianca Springer, Senior Manager Technology Projects at All for One Group SE, Filderstadt. "Questions quickly arise here, such as: Do role definitions and actually performed user actions match? Are the compliance guidelines already adhered to during the role design? Is a switch to SAP S/4HANA pending? Does the existing role concept have to be redesigned for this? Are there custom developments in the ABAP code that may contain security vulnerabilities?”
Two aspects in particular could cause headaches, says Peter Rosendahl, General Manager and Director Sales Cybersecurity & Compliance, All for One Group SE: "If a company wants to switch to SAP S/4HANA, it is necessary to adapt the role and authorization structure. Switching to SAP Fiori applications and optimizing the user experience is called 'Fiorization'. This requires tidy structures. This is an important milestone for companies on the way to S/4HANA.”
Hendrik Heyn, CEO Germany, Xiting GmbH, Schluchsee, adds: “Even without switching to S/4HANA, there are good reasons to clean up. The main thing is to increase security in general and to revise or create new authorization concepts. Not least when legal regulations require it. Is the role and authorization structure not tidy, not well structured or showing its age? Do external auditors complain that too many rights have been assigned that do not belong to the roles? Then you have to act.”
All for One and Xiting aim for sustainable customer benefits
"The All for One Group is the first among our approximately 70 Xiting partners to receive the Platinum Partner Award," says Hendrik Heyn from Xiting. "In particular, the many years of SAP expertise and the qualified consultants in the very well-positioned teams convince us.
