Access control mechanisms are fundamental to secure operations within SAP S/4HANA and SAP Fiori environments. These mechanisms dictate which users can access specific data, execute particular transactions, or perform designated functions. The ability to obtain documentation, particularly in PDF format and without cost, relating to these security settings is often sought by administrators and security professionals.
Robust authorization frameworks are vital for maintaining data integrity, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements (such as GDPR and SOX), and preventing unauthorized access to sensitive business information. Historically, complex role-based access control (RBAC) models have been employed within SAP systems, requiring meticulous design and ongoing maintenance. The shift towards Fiori introduces additional considerations for authorization due to its web-based architecture and diverse tile-based applications.
