Authorizations for SAP^® Products

Fiori Authorizations including Spaces and Pages

SAP Fiori^® is SAP's modern user interface that enables users to benefit from intuitive and personalized work environments. To ensure efficient and secure usage of Fiori, precise authorization management is essential. We implement Fiori authorizations for both the frontend and the backend, ensuring that users access only the applications and data relevant to them.

Additionally, we configure "Spaces" and "Pages" to create a user-friendly interface tailored to individual requirements. With an optimal Fiori authorization strategy, we not only enhance security but also boost employee productivity.

SAP S/4HANA^® Transformation — Strategies for Greenfield, Brownfield, and Bluefield

Transitioning to SAP S/4HANA^® poses significant challenges for companies, especially regarding authorizations. Depending on the chosen migration strategy — Greenfield, Brownfield, or Bluefield — existing authorizations must be completely redesigned, adapted, or selectively transformed.

In a Greenfield transformation, authorizations are built from scratch using best practices and modern concepts. For the Brownfield approach, we analyze existing authorizations and migrate them while considering new requirements. The Bluefield strategy combines both approaches, allowing for selective transformation in specific areas. Our goal is to ensure that all users have the correct authorizations post-transformation and that processes run smoothly.

Concept Design — Specialized and Framework Authorization Concepts

A structured authorization concept forms the foundation for secure and efficient SAP usage. We develop individual specialized concepts that detail the required authorizations for specific user groups.

In addition, we create framework authorization concepts that serve as overarching guidelines for the entire company. These concepts are designed to minimize security risks, ensure consistent role assignments, and maximize user-friendliness.

SAP^® BI/BW & SAP Analytics Cloud^® (SAC) Authorizations for Secure Data Analysis

The security of corporate data is crucial. In the realm of Business Intelligence (BI), Business Warehouse (BW), and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), we implement authorization concepts that ensure only authorized individuals can access sensitive data.

We define role-based access rights for reports, dashboards, and analytical applications to comply with data protection requirements and prevent unauthorized data access. This guarantees a secure and efficient use of BI and analytics solutions within your organization.

HR/HCM Authorizations — Data Protection and Access Control for Personnel Data

Personnel data are among the most sensitive types of information within a company and are subject to strict data protection regulations. To prevent unauthorized access while ensuring necessary processes, we develop tailored authorization concepts for SAP^® HCM and SAP SuccessFactors^®.

We ensure that HR departments, managers, and employees only access the data necessary for their work. We consider not only individual roles but also organizational authorization structures to guarantee data protection compliance.

Modules — Authorizations for all SAP^® Applications

Each SAP^® module presents its own set of requirements for authorization structures. Our team supports companies in designing and implementing authorizations for all SAP modules, including Financials (FI/CO), Materials Management (MM), Sales & Distribution (SD), Production Planning (PP), Human Capital Management (HCM/SuccessFactors), Business Intelligence (BW/BI & SAC), Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM & C4C) as well as S/4HANA with its modern user interfaces.

Regardless of the module in use, we ensure a secure, efficient, and compliance-driven authorization structure.

Emergency Concepts & Access Management for Maximum Security

To control critical access and minimize security risks, a well-thought-out emergency and access management plan is essential. We develop emergency concepts that dictate how system access is granted during extraordinary situations.

We implement firefighter concepts that grant temporary, logged access rights for critical activities. Through effective access management, we ensure that all authorizations are regularly reviewed and that unused or insecure accesses are eliminated.

Audit, Monitoring & Compliance — Transparency and Control

Regular auditing of SAP authorizations is crucial to minimizing security risks and meeting compliance requirements. Our monitoring solutions enable continuous review of all authorizations and early detection of potential breaches.

We analyze authorization changes, document all relevant access rights, and support companies in eliminating vulnerabilities in authorization management. This creates a transparent and secure IT environment.

Developer Guidelines — Best Practices for Secure SAP Development

To ensure a clean and secure development environment in SAP^®, clear developer guidelines are essential. We define best practices for accessing development, test, and production systems to minimize security risks.

Our guidelines ensure that developers receive only the permissions necessary for their work and that sensitive system areas remain protected. Additionally, we enforce a strict separation between development and production systems to prevent inadvertent changes and safeguard system integrity.

SAP^® Business Technology Platform^® (BTP)

The SAP^® Business Technology Platform is the heart of the modern SAP^® landscape. It unites data integration, development, security, and extensibility on a central platform. We support our customers in setting up subaccounts, spaces, and security zones, designing role and authorization models, implementing Cloud Foundry, and managing services with clean governance.

The integration of BTP applications with IAS/IPS and corporate identities, as well as conducting monitoring and compliance checks, are also part of our service portfolio.

Authorizations in SAP SuccessFactors^®

SAP SuccessFactors^® fundamentally transforms personnel management — but also places high demands on a secure authorization concept. We develop and optimize role-based permission models for various HR processes, integrate hybrid scenarios between on-premise systems and the cloud, and connect SAP to Identity Services for Single Sign-On.

Additionally, we accompany our customers during audits and ensure a compliance-compliant role architecture.

Authorizations in SAP Ariba^®

SAP Ariba^® forms the backbone of global procurement processes and must meet the highest security standards, especially when dealing with supplier portals.
