Espresso Tutorials SAP-Berechtigungen für Anwender und Einsteiger

Permissions in SAP are often a mystery to users. This compact practical guide makes it easier for you to enter the complex world of roles, profiles, and access checks. It provides both experienced SAP professionals and newcomers with understandable technical background knowledge to comprehend and resolve permission issues. You will learn how users obtain their permissions, how access checks work in SAP systems, why they fail, and how to gather important information about the causes in case of an error. Organizational and legal frameworks complete the presentation.

The second edition also addresses topics that have newly emerged with SAP S/4HANA or have gained greater significance compared to SAP ERP. This particularly includes access permissions for the web-based Fiori Launchpad and Fiori apps.

The authors see themselves as translators between business departments and traditional IT, thereby closing a crucial gap: When problems arise in the context of SAP permissions, communication between support and users often becomes difficult, as perspectives on the error situation can vary significantly and inevitable technical terms are used imprecisely.

• Understand access checks and analyze errors
• Prerequisites and concepts for the permission system
• Role-based permissions using the profile generator
• Permissions for the Fiori Launchpad.
