SAP® ERP applications are designed to support complex business processes in large organizations. One task involved in application maintenance that can become quite difficult and time consuming is user authorizations management: business users move between departments, roles are modified or extended because of changes based on organizational or business process optimizations, or new SAP® enhancements need to be included in user authorization profiles.
Common business cases that require an analysis of rights and security structures in SAP® ERP are e.g.
- governance of company policies and compliance rules
- analysis and supervision of Segregation of Duties (SoD)
- access control management for internal audits
- continuous access management
- evaluation of severity of financial transactions
Compliance, audit and authorization management are one subject of TransWare’s Profiling for SAP® software solution for the reengineering, re-documentation and analysis of SAP® ERP.
Typical use cases for this solution are
- harmonization, clean-up and consolidation of the SAP® authorization configuration
- identification of critical roles and conflicts in terms of overlapping, unneeded or unused access rights
- SoD supervision in the authorization setup phase of SAP® projects
- authorization analysis ahead of SAP® system upgrade, merge or split projects
- support for SAP® GRC solution implementation
- Compliance Monitoring and ongoing access control with full automation
