SAP Help Portal for Authorization Objects in Enterprise Search

To enforce an additional authorization check when a user starts an SAP transaction, you need to assign the specific authorization object to the transaction code. This ensures that the system performs an extra check against the user's authorizations before allowing access to the transaction.

Use Transaction SU24:

SU24 is the transaction used to maintain authorization default data for transactions and other executables. It allows you to assign authorization objects to transactions and set the check indicators.

Assign Authorization Object S_START:

Authorization Object S_STARTis used to control the start of transactions. By assigning this object to a transaction code, you can specify additional checks based on the Program ID and Object Type.

In SU24, navigate to the desired transaction code and add S_START to its list of authorization objects.

Specify Program ID and Object Type:

Within the authorization object S_START, set theProgram IDandObject Typefields to define the scope of the check.

This setup ensures that when a user attempts to start the transaction, the system checks for the specified authorizations in their user profile.

SAP Security References:

SAP Help Portal:Authorization Checks and SU24 Maintenance

SAP Documentation:Using Authorization Object S_START for Transaction Start Checks

SAP Note:Best Practices for Maintaining Authorization Data with SU24

Information on SAP-delivered default authorization objects and their value assignments can be found in:

USOBT (B):

USOBTis a table that contains SAP's default check indicators and authorization object assignments for transactions.

It holds the relationships between transaction codes and the authorization objects checked during transaction execution.

SU22 (C):

Transaction SU22displays the SAP default authorization data.

It allows administrators to view the standard authorization objects and field values that SAP assigns to transactions.

Note:

USOBT_Cis the customer version of the USOBT table, containing customer-specific modifications. However, for SAP-delivered defaults, USOBT is the correct source.

SU24is used for maintaining customer-specific authorization data, not for viewing SAP defaults.

During the aggregation process inSAP Enterprise Threat Detection, data undergoes several transformations to ensure it can be effectively analyzed for threats while maintaining privacy and enhancing usability.

Pseudonymization (B):Sensitive data is pseudonymized to protect privacy. This ensures that personally identifiable information (PII) is masked while still being analyzable for patterns and anomalies.

Normalization (D):Data from various sources is normalized into a consistent format. This is critical for correlating and analyzing logs from diverse systems.

Enrichment (E):Additional context is added to the data to enhance its value. For example, IP addresses might be enriched with geolocation data, or event logs might be augmented with user attributes.
