SAP authorization concepts

The existing authorization concept has grown historically over the years with overloaded roles and non-transparent assignments.

But how can a new authorization concept be created that ensures that every user has exactly the authorizations they need right from the start? And without any productive downtime?

This is only possible with a great deal of manual effort using SAP tools. It is more comfortable with a tool like the Sivis Extension Manager.

This records which transactions, objects and values are actually called up by the individual users and compares them with a best-practice role concept.

In parallel, the Sivis Compliance Manager checks whether these are critical combinations of authorizations that need to be resolved or mitigated.

Users receive as few authorizations as possible and as many as necessary. This ensures a lean implementation of the new authorization concept - regardless of whether Hana is being introduced or existing roles are being redesigned. After go-live, the helpdesk continues to benefit from the Extension Manager.

Sivis offers automatic mechanisms for reporting authorization requests without media disruption, provides suggestions for the right roles and guarantees audit-proof documentation.
