Before using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) in SAP systems, two prerequisites must be met. First, tables USOBT (Authorization Object Defaults) and USOBX (Check Indicators) must be filled with SAP-delivered authorization default values, which provide the standard authorization objects and check indicators for transactions. These tables, maintained via transaction SU25, ensure that PFCG can propose appropriate authorizations when building roles. Second, the system profile parameter auth/no_check_in_some_cases must be set to Y, enabling the system to bypass authorization checks for certain transactions, which is necessary for PFCG to function correctly during role creation and maintenance. Setting this parameter to N would enforce stricter checks, potentially restricting PFCG functionality. Tables USOBT_C and USOBX_C are customer-specific and not required for initial PFCG setup, as they store customized values rather than SAP defaults. These steps ensure that PFCG operates effectively, supporting secure and efficient role management in SAP environments.

In SAP systems, users with system administration authorization have access to additional functions in the SAP Easy Access menu to manage system security and user administration. The menu includes options for creating roles, allowing administrators to use transaction PFCG to define and maintain authorization roles, which are critical for assigning permissions to users based on their job functions. Additionally, the menu provides access to creating users, enabling administrators to use transaction SU01 to set up user master records, including user IDs, passwords, and role assignments. These functions are essential for managing access control and ensuring system security. Calling menus for roles and assigning them to users is not a specific function of the Easy Access menu, as role assignment is typically performed within SU01 or PFC

To restrict access to SAP Enterprise Search models in the SAP Fiori launchpad, the authorization objects SDDLVIEW and S_ESH_CONN are used. SDDLVIEW controls access to data definition language (DDL) views, which are often underlying components of search models, ensuring that only authorized users can access or execute these views within the Fiori environment. S_ESH_CONN governs access to enterprise search connectors, which link search models to the Fiori launchpad, allowing administrators to restrict which users can utilize specific search functionalities. These objects provide granular control over search model access, aligning with security and segregation of duties requirements. S_ESH_ADM is used for administrative tasks related to enterprise search, not direct model access, and RSDDLTIP is not a standard SAP authorization object. By leveraging SDDLVIEW and S_ESH_CONN, SAP ensures that search capabilities in the Fiori launchpad are securely managed, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data while enabling efficient search functionality for authorized users.

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) distinguishes between Business users and Platform users. Business users are end-users who access applications, such as SAP Fiori apps or custom solutions, hosted on BTP to perform business tasks. Their access is managed via role collections that grant permissions to specific business functionalities. Platform users, in contrast, are administrators or developers who manage the BTP environment, including subaccounts, services, and configurations, using tools like the BTP Cockpit. They have administrative privileges to configure and deploy applications. Key users, while relevant in some SAP contexts, are not a distinct BTP user type, often overlapping with business users. Technical users are not a standard category in BTP’s user classification, as their functions are covered by platform users or system accounts. This distinction ensures clear separation of responsibilities, enabling secure and efficient management of BTP resources while supporting business operations and administrative tasks in a cloud-based environment.

In SAP HANA Cloud, user groups provide a mechanism to manage user settings collectively. Administrators can configure client connect restrictions within user groups to control which clients or applications can connect to the database, enhancing security by limiting access to authorized interfaces. Additionally, password policy settings can be defined for user groups, allowing administrators to enforce rules such as password length, complexity, or expiration periods, ensuring compliance with organizational security standards. Authorization privileges, however, are assigned directly to users or roles, not user groups, as groups in SAP HANA Cloud are not used for privilege management. Similarly, identity providers are configured at the system level, not within user groups, as they relate to authentication rather than group-specific settings. These capabilities enable efficient and secure user management in SAP HANA Cloud environments.
